Smart Outdoor Play

We create science playgrounds unlike any other

EduPlayground is a Polish brand of outdoor educational equipment and spaces. We design playgrounds where children learn about physics, sound and nature through hands-on experience and play. The result is smart fun that brings the whole family together, whatever their gender, age or level of ability.

Our story

How did it start?

Before the first piece of equipment was designed, there was one idea about what a playground is for.

EduPlayground was founded in 2012, when the company Park Edukacyjny Interakcje set out to create an alternative to traditional playgrounds. There were two goals: for families to spend more time outdoors, and for schools and nurseries to teach beyond their walls too.

Today the idea behind EduPlayground reaches further than the equipment itself. It has grown into outdoor classrooms - whole zones for lessons in the open air.

A good playground should teach, not just fill children's time.

Our values

What drives us?

Four principles come back in every project - from the first sketch of a piece of equipment to installation on site. They are what sets a science playground apart from an ordinary climbing frame.

The child at the centre

We don't explain a phenomenon to the child - we let them make it happen with their own hands. Our path is guided by Maria Montessori, André Stern and Ken Robinson.

Quality and safety

Everything is made in Poland, under our supervision at every stage. Every piece of equipment meets the playground standard EN 1176.

Accessible to everyone

We design inclusively: a child in a wheelchair and a child running around use the same equipment, side by side.

From design to service

We don't disappear after delivery. An adviser helps you choose the equipment, plan the zone and handle the formalities, and after installation you have our service and warranty.

The brand in numbers

Real numbers behind the brand

Behind each of these numbers are real playgrounds, real nurseries, schools and local authorities - and the children who learn there every day.
