What equipment is used in a children's park? A professional children’s park (indoor/outdoor) is equipped with a diverse range of play equipment tailored to different age groups, play needs and safety standards. Core equipment categories and typical items are as follows, with soft play equipment as the core for indoor commercial children’s parks:
Soft Play Core Equipment (the most essential for indoor parks)Foam climbing frames, ball pits with soft enclosures, slide combinations (plastic/soft wrap), tunnel crawlers, soft building blocks, merry-go-rounds for kids, soft obstacle courses, and themed soft play zones (e.g. ocean/space/forest themes). All are made of high-density soft padding and non-toxic materials, ensuring safety for toddlers and young kids.
Interactive & Educational Play EquipmentSand/water play tables, puzzle game boards, role-play houses (kitchen/doctor/fire station), sensory play equipment, and small DIY craft stations. It combines fun with early education, exercising kids’ hands-on ability and cognitive skills.
Classic Mechanical & Static EquipmentSmall rotating carousels, spring rockers, balance beams, small swings (with safety restraints), and climbing walls (with soft protection). Suitable for matching with soft play areas to enrich play experience.
Auxiliary & Functional FacilitiesAnti-slip floor mats, safety guardrails, rest benches for parents, storage lockers, hand-washing stations, and themed decoration props. These optimize the park’s operation and user experience, meeting the needs of both kids and accompanying adults.
Outdoor children’s parks will add more large-scale equipment such as metal slide combinations, climbing nets, and outdoor swing sets on the basis of the above, with materials more resistant to weather and wear.
What material is used for soft play? When it comes to soft play equipment, safety starts with materials. Haibeier adheres to the highest global safety standards, handpicking four core materials—PVC Leather, PU Leather, Wooden Board, and Filling Sponge (Pearl Cotton)—all rigorously tested and certified to meet stringent EU and US regulations. Every touchable surface, every structural component, and every protective layer is engineered to prioritize children’s health while ensuring durability for commercial use.
PVC Leather: Durable, Easy-Clean, and Globally Certified
Our PVC Leather is the ideal surface material for soft play equipment, boasting exceptional wear resistance, water resistance, and easy maintenance—perfect for high-traffic commercial spaces. Beyond its practicality, it’s certified to comply with EU Standards including REACH Annex XVII, POPs, and EN 71-3:2019+A1/A2, ensuring no harmful substances like phthalates or heavy metals are present. For US markets, it meets CPSIA, California Proposition 65, and 16 CFR Part 1307 requirements, strictly limiting lead content (≤200ppm for PVC components) and banned phthalates (DEHP, DBP, BBP, etc. ≤1000ppm each) . Soft yet tough, it stands up to endless climbs, slides, and touches while keeping kids safe from chemical exposure.
PU Leather: Gentle, Eco-Friendly, and Skin-Friendly
Designed for areas requiring a softer, more luxurious touch, our PU Leather combines comfort with environmental responsibility. Free from AZO Dyes (prohibited under EU standards) and other toxic additives, it holds certifications for EU REACH Annex XVII, AZO Dyes, and EN 71-3:2019+A1/A2, as well as US CPSIA and California Proposition 65 . Its smooth, breathable texture is gentle on children’s sensitive skin, while its resistance to stains and fading ensures long-lasting aesthetics. Whether used for soft play cushions, role-play house surfaces, or climbing wall padding, it delivers both safety and sensory comfort.
Wooden Board: Sturdy, Fire-Retardant, and Non-Toxic
For structural support (e.g., frame bases, platform edges), we use high-quality Wooden Board that balances strength with child safety. Certified to EU REACH Annex XVII, POPs, and EN 71-3:2019+A1/A2, it’s free from harmful wood preservatives and heavy metals. Meeting US ASTM E84 (fire performance standard) and California Proposition 65, it offers fire-retardant properties and low formaldehyde emissions, making it suitable for enclosed indoor commercial spaces . Sanded to a smooth finish with no sharp edges, it provides a stable foundation for soft play structures while adhering to global safety norms for children’s products.
Filling Sponge (Pearl Cotton): Cushiony, Resilient, and Hazard-Free
At the core of our soft play’s shock absorption lies Filling Sponge (EPE Foam), known for its lightweight, high-resilience, and impact-dispersing properties. Certified to EU REACH Annex XVII, POPs, and EN 71-3:2019+A1/A2, it contains no toxic flame retardants or volatile organic compounds (VOCs). For US compliance, it meets UL 1975 (foam safety standard) and California Proposition 65, ensuring it’s safe for direct contact with children . Its closed-cell structure resists moisture and mold, maintaining shape even after years of high-frequency use, while providing a gentle buffer that minimizes collision injuries—perfect for ball pits, tunnel crawlers, and soft climbing zones.
Beyond Materials: Global Compliance as a Promise
Every material in Haibeier’s soft play equipment undergoes third-party testing to validate compliance with international standards. We understand that for global clients, regulatory adherence isn’t just a checkbox—it’s a barrier to entry, a trust-builder with parents, and a guarantee of operational peace of mind . By unifying our materials with EU and US safety requirements, we eliminate cross-border compliance risks, letting you focus on growing your business while children enjoy a play environment free from harmful substances.
