Engaging All Walks of Life

The videos have been so successful and well-received by our community that we are now using the same model for other projects. It is an inexpensive, and easy way for our community to stay informed and for the Town to spread positive messaging during uncertain times. Adapt and overcome.

In a changing world of communication where people are constantly bombarded with photos, social media updates, and virtual programming, we had to find a way to keep our community engaged, but in a way that fits into their ever-changing way of life.

Yalp interactive playgrounds are great catalysts for inclusive play. Playground equipment should be as diverse as our communities – interactive playsets are genuinely inclusive and multigenerational. In 2006, Yalp started developing their first interactive play equipment, the Yalp Sona Interactive Dance and Play Arch. In various projects over the years, Yalp discovered that products suit the needs of children with disabilities astonishingly well.

Yalp strives to create unique playgrounds that punctuate, not define, a play space. Embracing the true meaning of inclusion and adaptive play, Yalp products have no barriers. Yalp interactives are ground level and, therefore, easily accessible for people with physical impairments, such as wheelchairs and larger powered mobility devices.

Yalp systems can connect any software platform to their interactive playsets for advanced customization using Yalp API, commonly known as YAPI. API offers controlled and safe access to the interactive play systems. Star Playgrounds is the exclusive distributor of Yalp products for Colorado and Wyoming. The team at Star Playgrounds are also Certified Inclusive Playground Designers and therefore especially suited to help you to create a play space that includes everyone.
