Designing Play Spaces that Grow with Children

Many parents around the world have noticed that as their children get older, they tend to spend more time indoors, trading playgrounds for video game lobbies. While the desire to play and connect with peers remains strong, many outdoor spaces don’t fully support the evolving interests of children as they age.

Playground Towers: Taking Play to New Heights

You’re walking through a new park with your family when, in the distance, a towering structure with long, spiraling slides catches your eye. The kids take off running, eager to explore, while you get ready for a few hours of unexpected fun.

Whether they’re climbing trees or scrambling up monkey bars, kids are natural climbers. That’s why playground towers have become some of the most exciting and engaging features in today’s play spaces.

At GameTime, we design tower structures that combine adventure with research-backed benefits. From budget-friendly models to fully custom creations, our towers are built to spark curiosity, encourage exploration, and bring play to new heights.

Towers do more than just add visual impact. Elevated platforms encourage exploration, spark curiosity, and help children build confidence and resilience through adventurous play. Towers also enhance visibility, drawing families into parks and turning ordinary playgrounds into landmark destinations.
