New Playground Equipments for Children

The GK2WA has installed seven playground equipments across various parks in Greater Kailash-II. The new playground equipments are thoughtfully chosen keeping in mind the safety and development of children.

Social skills that children develop on the playground become lifelong skill sets that are carried forward into their adulthood. Playgrounds are among the most important environments for children outside the home.

When a child uses a playground, he or she is learning to play independently. Children enjoy spending time with other children. Using a playground helps a child learn to be by himself or herself and have fun without needing others for entertainment. A playground can help a child, who often relies on others for play, to become more independent.

When a child stops relying on someone else to propel him on the swing or play some other toys in the playground, it helps him develop coordination. For some children, verbal coaching does not seem to work. Instead, the child must learn through trial and error. However, once they learn it, they use the coordination to play with these installed equipments, as well as in other areas of their lives.

A child also needs to learn how to balance and how that balance affects her and her body. If the child cannot balance, he or she is likely to fall from the swing. Learning how to balance while going through the back and forth motions is a different sensation than establishing balance when walking or sitting. The more sensations a child is exposed to as he or she grows, the better she will be able to adapt to new situations.

GK2WA cares for the welfare of its residents and their children. We hope that the children who come to these parks would enjoy the new playground equipments.
