Playgrounds are very popular nowadays. Here are 8 natural playground ideas full of natural fun. These playgrounds combine terrain, vegetation and ecological elements, which can not only stimulate children's desire to explore, but also let adults feel the wildness of nature.
Backyard tree house climbing net
We can do it yourself, using the thick trees in the woods to build a suspended tree house, connected by hemp rope nets and log ladders, with tree suspension bridges and rope ladders. Then lay pine needles and bark cushions at the bottom of the tree house, plant ferns around to create a sense of mystery, so that children can observe the bark texture and bird nesting during the climbing process.

Outdoor exploration area
We can build a wooden plank road in the shallow water area of the outdoor yard, set up a detachable insect observation box, tadpole breeding pool, and match it with a magnifying glass observation platform. Establish outdoor playgrounds that children can explore at any time.

Rock maze adventure
We can select natural rock groups outdoors to create a maze path. Rocks of different heights can be used as climbing points. Mosses and succulents are planted in the gaps, and then homemade rock treasure hunt points are set up to hide natural specimens. A rock slide is set at the end for children to experience different fun.
Grassland Outdoor Playground
We built an aerial corridor with thick hemp ropes in the open grassland of our backyard, a "rope net tunnel" on the ground, and matched it with a tree stump balance beam and a haystack platform. Then we covered the bottom of the rope net with wildflower seeds, forming a flower sea cushion in spring, and set up grassland plant science signs around it so that children can observe vegetation at any time.
Stream Painting Workshop
To build this backyard playground, we need to build a small dam with pebbles in the slow-flowing stream section, set up a bamboo tube water diversion device and a wooden waterwheel, and provide tools such as degradable buckets and screens. Then guide the children to observe the relationship between water flow and terrain, and pick up pebbles in the stream for painting.
Children's Fairy Tale Theater
We need to transform the hollow tree hole into a fairy tale hut, hang vines outside the tree hole for decoration, and surround it with tree stumps to form an audience seat. Then provide props such as leaves and pine cones, encourage children to write their own scripts, and paste illustrations of natural theme picture books on the inner wall of the tree hole to fully develop children's phenomenal ability.
Sand Laboratory
We divide the natural sand dune area into an "observation area", and provide sieves, rulers and other tools to study the coarseness of sand particles. A wooden guardrail is set up on the top of the sand dune, and a sand-proof mat is laid at the bottom. The geological science exhibition board is used to tell children about the source of sand, etc., to popularize scientific knowledge.
Bamboo Forest Children's Playground
We hang colored glass pieces and prisms in the bamboo forest, and light spots are projected when sunlight passes through; bamboo tube megaphones and bamboo leaf rubbing tables are set up. It can develop children's photosensitive experience.But we need to pay attention that we must use natural materials that need to be polished smooth, and set up soft protection in dangerous areas to ensure the safety of children!
Above, I introduce 8 natural playground ideas full of natural fun. If you need to buy playground equipment, you can contact me in time. Our ideas can not only let urban children get close to nature, but also create unique ecological experience scenes for rural scenic spots, and let children learn while playing.
