Play and exercise
for a generation
We are passionate about creating inspiring indoor and outdoor spaces where people of all ages can play, exercise, discover, and meet. We believe that play and exercise is essential for the development of people on physical, cognitive, social-emotional, creative, and intellectual aspects, regardless of their age.
Experience and expertise
With well over 60 years of experience of designing (inclusive) outdoor spaces for play, sport, meeting, and exercise, delivering our services and products worldwide. We cooperate with schools, recreational organisations, municipal authorities, and other organisations, using various furnishing concepts based on the needs of the users.
Attention to needs
Whilst designing an outdoor area, we look through the eyes of the end user and select
exercise and play equipment that meets the different needs, age groups and play types. Thus, contributing to their physical and mental health as well as their social well-being.
Materials and safety
Our playground equipment is manufactured by skilled professionals in our own factory in Nieuwendijk (NL). We warrant a long lifetime as we use sustainable materials, such as FSC® certified (hard)wood, coated aluminium, stainless steel and recycled plastics. In the design process of the equipment and the overall exercise- and play areas, we give safety the highest priority. In addition, we strive to reuse materials to promote sustainable solutions that are of value for both now and the future.
The four play types
To help us create engaging and challenging play areas, we distinguish between four different play types: Energizers, Structure seekers, Builders and Observers. Each type has its own way of playing and has unique needs from a play area.
The four types were inspired by the design philosophy of Dutch architect Bertus Mulder. By taking an approach that focuses on this diversity, we can enable each child to engage in their preferred style of play, alone or with others.
Children grow up, but their diversity remains. Visit our website to learn how we apply our philosophy to creating spaces for children, adults and seniors.

Energizer
“I am the fastest; try to catch me! Just let me hop-, bounce and run around. I don’t like to sit still, I need space to do my thing“
Energizers need a lot of open and undefined space. Preferably with competition elements and height differences. There they can excel and achieve.
The 4
Structure seeker
“Playing is the best thing in the world! Give me something I can play with and I’ll have fun. And when we play together, it will be even more fun! Come on, let’s not waste time and get started! “
Structure seekers need an environment where they can meet and which is equipped with predefined playing purposes and comfortably furnished.
types of players
Builder Observer
“Look, all of it made by me! With everything I can find around me, I build the most beautiful creations. I learn by trying; I experiment like crazy. And if I ever digress, something even more beautiful often comes up! “
Builders need an open space with (natural) building materials present for building and finding freedom of expression and interpretation.
“Just let me be... I’m just comfortable over here. Can I stay just a little longer? I was just playing a really fun game. You said we could stay another 5 minutes, didn’t you? Well, they’re not over, so we can’t go back yet”
Observers need a safe space to retreat and seek shelter.
Play and exercise are essential for children
Play and exercise are essential to children’s development. 95% of our brain structure is formed in the first seven years of life. A child’s overall development is closely linked to the
maturation of their brain and nervous system. To stimulate and promote this development, we design our play structures to include as many play values as possible.
Sensorimotor
Handling incoming impulses and the progression of movements from head to toes.
Physical
Muscle development, bone strength, physique, and endurance.
Source: Hanneke Poot – Bewegen is de basis
Social
Promotes cooperation, communication and social skills.
The impact of play on development
Cognitive
Stimulates problemsolving thinking and creativity. Maturation of the brain.
Emotional
Promotes self-confidence and resilience.

The influence of play on development
Playing is a great opportunity for children to stretch their limits. By taking risks, they learn to recognise and stretch their limits. This has a positive impact on the development of young children in the following ways:
Climbing and clambering stimulate physical development: Children learn to coordinate their bodies, maintain balance, and develop self-confidence whilst overcoming obstacles. In climbing a climbing frame, they develop strength, balance, and motor skills.
Imaginative play stimulates emotional development: Children take on different roles, imitating everyday situations and use their imagination to create stories and scenarios. As a result, they become socially interactive and enhance their lingual skills, through which they develop their problemsolving skills.
Sliding promotes sensorimotor development: Children learn about speed, keeping balance and spatial orientation whilst having fun. When sliding, they experience different speeds, helping them to control their bodies and senses.
Balancing promotes cognitive development: Through balancing, children become aware of their posture and movement to keep their balance. This helps develop spatial orientation skills, such as understanding left and right, forward and backward, and estimating distances and positions.
Rocking on a seesaw enhances social development: Children learn to work together. They learn to interact, take account of each other, and have fun in group activities. Through rocking together, they learn to collaborate and coordinate their movements.
Playing with Rocks
Rocks is an attractive and varied play programme with a recognisable colour scheme, which will stand out in any environment due to its multitude of possibilities. Attractive due to its colourful appearance, but certainly also attractively priced. The power of simplicity, incorporated in a colourful palette of different possibilities and modular applications.
Now also for older youth! We believe that every child can enjoy a challenging playground according to their own abilities and interests with basic play.
Playing is for everyone!
Rocks’ diverse play values offer a good balance between motor skills and physical challenges, through its various climbing options.

Play equipment made of recycled plastic
We have been designing and manufacturing innovative play and sports equipment and street furniture made of recycled plastic since 1980. Elements that fit into a green and sustainable living environment. The uprights, floors and panels we use are made from a recyclate of crown corks, post-industrial waste, bottles, boxes and agricultural plastic. Over the years, the manufacture of recycled plastic has continued to improve. From these waste streams, our suppliers create an optimal mix that meets our strength and rigidity requirements. We can now also supply posts made from recycled synthetic turf.
Recycled plastic is a reliable building material. It does not rot, it does not splinter, it is tamperproof and low-maintenance. The material is very durable. It lasts for decades. Some of our products have been in public spaces for more than 40 years! Even after years of sun, rain and frost, our recycled materials remain constructively like new because they are UV-, water- and weather-resistant. In addition, these playground equipment are easy to clean and repair where possible.
The plastic we use contributes to a cleaner environment because they are made from recycled material. The plastic is not impregnated and therefore cannot release toxic substances into the environment. All plastic is fully recyclable after its economic life.
We attach great importance to safety, the environment and quality for people, the environment and the product. The aim is to continuously improve our organisation according to the principle of sustainable management. To ensure this, we are ISO 9001, ISO 14001 certified. We also comply with step 5 of the CO2 performance ladder.

Our vision for a better future
Craftsmanship and customisation
Craftsmanship and customised solutions
Our work is characterised by craftsmanship and a commitment to quality and sustainability. This can be seen in every aspect of our play equipment, from the choice of materials to the smallest details. Our team of more than 100 employees creates hundreds of play areas every year with a mission of making outdoor play appealing and fun.
Our play areas promote children’s development. But just as important for our children’s future are the methods we use to create them. We strive continuously to reduce our environmental footprint. Our ultimate goal is a circular economy in which the use of new raw materials is minimised, materials are reused or recycled, and waste is almost entirely eliminated.
Some of the steps we are taking to make our operations more sustainable include:
Recovering, recycling and reusing equipment
• Using sustainable and circular materials. We design and develop our products in-house, and we use durable , high-quality, circular materials. Moreover, we explore potential new materials, such as Green Matter –recycled plastic derived from artificial turf.
• We use a range of materials in our products, including metal, aluminium, stainless steel, FSC® certified wood (Scandinavian pine, Robinia, tropical and European hardwood) and recycled plastic. Options for waste separation, recycling and reuse are investigated as part of the design process.
• We are evolving into a partner that provides play solutions while retaining ownership of the resources. Play-as-a-service: instead of the physical play structure, we sell enjoyable play experiences by realising exciting play areas that are built to last.
• Reducing waste. We work to order. Manufacturing on demand minimises the need for stock. As a result, we have almost entirely eliminated our non-quality costs (rejects and returns).
Dutch manufacturing and employment
We are proud of the fact that our play and exercise equipment is manufactured in our own factory in the Netherlands. We also install the play structures ourselves. This allows us to provide employment opportunities here and preserve Dutch knowledge and expertise regarding play. We reduce our environmental footprint further by using local suppliers wherever possible.
Low life cycle costs
Our equipment is designed for use in public spaces. It has a minimum lifespan of 15 years with corresponding warranties*, and we even offer lifetime warranties on some materials. We believe that play equipment should require minimal maintenance once it is installed and consider this at the design stage. Our equipment stands out for its low maintenance costs (<2% per year). This helps safeguard healthy budgets for new play areas and equipment. In the unlikely event that equipment does require repair, our products are designed to allow this to be carried out safely, responsibly and thoroughly.
* Exception: We offer a 10-year warranty on pine wood.
