Three Benefits of Adding Playgrounds to Housing Developments
Investing in a playground for your condominium complex, new housing development, or existing neighborhood is an excellent way to enhance your community while giving kids and families a fun and engaging space to play. Whether you are the head of your homeowners’ association or a developer designing a new residential neighborhood, planning for a playground is an excellent investment. Playgrounds and recreation spaces attract quality homeowners and families, increase property value, and enhance quality of life for families. The three benefits of adding playgrounds to housing developments include:
1. Increase Property Value
The addition of a playground in your community can significantly benefit the local economy, boosting property value and attracting small businesses to the area. The closer you live to a playground, the more valuable your home may be. Even a small playground can make the difference between a family choosing one neighbourhood over another.
2. Promotes Child Development
One of the most important benefits of play is that it promotes basic cognitive skills. A child can learn problem solving, reasoning, creativity, dexterity, and more. Additionally, numerous studies show children and adults who engage in regular physical activity have fewer long-term health issues. Playgrounds at housing developments encourage families to play and be active and limits dependency on electronic devices.
3. Establishes a Healthy Community
Playgrounds give residents a space to connect, interact and forge friendships and create a real community. With more positive interactions comes heightened feelings of belonging which creates a greater sense of community. Furthermore, children aren’t the only ones who enjoy a well-equipped playground! The addition of a sport courts, outdoor fitness equipment, or a running track to playgrounds enhances their value and creates a gathering spot for adults to socialize and create a sense of belonging.
