Welcome to the Play Matters Podcast, where we discuss the importance of the playground in our communities. In this episode, listen to hosts Rachel and Melissa discuss the evolution of play over the years and how these changes have and continue to benefit children long term.

This week we discuss the way that playgrounds have evolved to become safer, easing parents nerves but also building children's confidence to excel in new challenges. We provide you with product knowledge and safety benefits to consider when bringing your child to the playground. This episode introduces you to a product from our company that is inclusive and challenges a child's fear of heights, we give you all the information you need to know to ensure play that is safe.

In this week’s episode we are continuing the conversation of building children’s confidence. We talk about  leadership, assertion, and communication in Unstructured Free Play. Rachel and I share our experiences of the playground growing up and experiencing other child leaders in games we’ve played. We then branch out into verbal and nonverbal cues and how children express their emotions during play.

This week’s episode, we took time out to get to know what children and parents enjoy about our playgrounds from Florida to Australia. We discuss our best reviews from people who have children with disabilities and need playgrounds to be accessible, along with families who enjoy playtime together.

In this episode we go in depth providing information for Landscape Architects looking to build a playground with Dynamo Playgrounds. We get into finding your niche and creating a need for new products in the neighbourhood you’re targeting. We further discuss budgeting, vision for the space and other necessities that would be suitable for the area you’d be building for.

This week we brought Dynamo's owner and President, Richard Martin to discuss the company's history and ideas to come in the future. We go in depth from where Richard found a need in the playground to future exciting games.
