Children encounter dozens of different challenges every day outside the home. How to move about in the immediate environment? How to perceive the surroundings? The changing urban environment poses a great deal of different requirements, calling for practice in order to be learnt. And what better way for children to learn than through play.

The Axiom range of playground products takes as its starting point the needs of children in an urban milieu. The carefully studied and internationally tested products provide a high-quality playing environment of impulses and stimuli, merging the child´s world of imagination with the real built environment. The main focus is on the needs of over six-year olds to climb, slide and hang from bars. Play helps children learn the motor, cognitive and social skills needed in today´s rapidly changing world. While acquiring knowledge of basic forms shapes, children will also learn motor skills, body control and how to solve problems. The equipment can be used for individual or group practice of a wide range of activities and social skills. It has been tested with children in different parts of Europe and it meets international standards of quality and safety.

The timeless, streamlined design also shows that the needs of the target group are recognized as important. The products are well-finished, of high-standard and safe. It is not necessary to lay concrete for a playground site. The various parts and components are easily assembled into different combinations and they are easy to care for.

Axiom playground equipment teaches children to perceive space and their own movement, which increases safety.
