‘PLAYGROUND ENERGY’ LTD. designs and manufactures playground equipment, street-fitness equipment, and urban furniture. We aim to reinvent the first gaming platform – the playground in a new and educative way.
Our products harvest different kinds of energy and transform it into light, sounds and Bluetooth control of outdoor devices like fountains and street lights, thus motivating children to play more, so that they can grow up healthy and happy.
We make products not only for children, though. Our concept: “Playground for the whole family” allows parents to get involved in the gaming process by using our solar illuminating benches or the kinetic street fitness equipment.
The unique designs and the patented technology of the products makes Playground Energy the only playground company which produces energy from children's play for their own entertainment."
The company is currently operating on 4 continents including Europe, Asia, Australia and North America.
