In 2018, the PARKITECT® Modular Pumptrack was recognised as "particularly beneficial for development" by the Federal Association for the Promotion of Posture and Movement. So why does this matter?
The big goal
Children learn and develop through movement, exploration and play. When active recreation opportunities are integrated into everyday environments, children are more likely to engage in spontaneous physical activity without requiring structured programmes or adult encouragement.
And how does that work?
The goal is simple: create spaces that invite children to move, play, experiment and interact with their surroundings.
The quality seal criteria
Providing accessible and stimulating opportunities for movement in schools, parks, clubs and community spaces helps make physical activity a natural part of daily life.
The Modular Pumptrack offers a versatile environment where children can learn through play, develop new skills and challenge themselves at their own pace. The recognition was based on a range of criteria, including:
- Conceptual idea and implementation
- Opportunities for learning and motor skill development
- Long-term play value and engagement
- Quality of design and safety
- Independent learning and self-directed activity
