Sand Pits

These provide a contained way to incorporate sand into a play environment, helping to keep the sand in one area. Sand makes a great play element since it can be manipulated and shaped to fit the creativity of individual imaginations. To spice up the sand pit, get creative with the overall form of the space – consider using recycled elements like tractor tires to contain the sand or pouring a wavy concrete wall. A poured rubber mound added to the middle of the sand pit can double as a “mountain” to conquer. In addition, coloured sand can add a new dimension to these play spaces.
