How to choose a play structure for your space? Discover 24 LUDO configurations
No two sites are identical. No two projects have exactly the same budget, surroundings, user group or design requirements.
So why should every playground be created according to the same formula?
The LUDO collection was designed for spaces that differ in scale, character and how they are used. It comes in two colour versions: Forest and Ocean - each available in 12 configurations. Together, they offer 24 ready-made solutions that make it possible to adapt the play structure to a specific location without compromising on visual consistency or the variety of play functions.
However, this is about more than simply offering a wide selection of products in a catalogue. What matters most is what this variety means for architects, investors and above all children.
A playground should respond to its setting
Playground design begins long before choosing a slide, swing or rope climbing structure.
The first questions concern the size and topography of the site, the surrounding buildings, the age of future users, the required functions and the available budget. A solution designed for a small residential development will differ from one intended for a preschool, a large park or a central recreation area.
That is why one universal structure cannot meet the needs of every project.
LUDO offers a choice of play structures with different scales, layouts and numbers of functions. Smaller configurations can become the main feature of a compact playground. Larger structures can define the character of the entire space and provide numerous activities within one extensive piece of equipment.
The designer does not have to adapt the space to the equipment. The equipment can be selected to suit the space.
24 Configurations, one design language
A wide selection only delivers real value when the individual solutions form a visually consistent whole.
The different configurations within the LUDO collection share a common character. They are connected by similar forms, details, graphic motifs and a consistently applied colour palette. This makes it possible to choose a smaller or larger structure without creating the impression that each part of the playground comes from a different design concept.
This is particularly important in projects where the play equipment needs to complement the architecture, greenery and other elements of the site development.
Visual consistency is not merely an addition. It is one of the tools used to create well-designed public spaces.
A well-designed playground should not look like a random collection of equipment selected from several different catalogues. It should have a clear identity, a strong hierarchy and a consistent visual style.
LUDO makes it possible to achieve this effect across projects of different scales.
From a compact play structure to the main attraction
Not every playground requires a large number of separate pieces of equipment.
In many projects, a better solution may be one extensive play structure that combines different functions and organises the layout of the entire zone. Such a structure can become its natural centre ? a destination connected by pathways and a focal point around which the remaining equipment is arranged.
Smaller LUDO configurations are well suited to locations where space is limited but the aim is still to create an attractive, multifunctional play area.
Medium-sized structures make it possible to combine a variety of activities without overcrowding the space.
The largest configurations can serve as a visual focal point and the main attraction of an extensive playground.
Within a single collection, designers can therefore find solutions for a wide range of scenarios - from a compact playground next to a residential building to a large recreation area intended for many users.
Forest or Ocean? A colour palette that shapes the project's character
LUDO is available in two colour versions. However, these are not simply two variations of the same colour scheme.
Each version makes it possible to create a different character for the space.
LUDO Forest
Forest uses muted green accents and details inspired by plants and animals. It complements parks, recreation areas, residential greenery and spaces with a more natural or traditional character.
It can be an interesting choice wherever the playground should remain attractive to children while blending naturally into its surroundings rather than visually dominating them.
LUDO Ocean
Ocean introduces cooler blue tones and a more distinctive maritime narrative. It can become a strong feature in modern and urban spaces or in projects where the play structure is intended to attract attention and establish a recognisable theme.
Choosing between Forest and Ocean makes it possible to adapt the structure not only to the size of the site but also to its surroundings, architecture and the intended atmosphere of the entire project.
A complete playground is more than a collection of random equipment
At Inter Play, we approach a playground as a complete space, not simply a collection of products.
What matters is how users move through the space, how activities are arranged, as well as safety, functionality, aesthetics and the relationship between the equipment and its surroundings. A play structure is an important part of the project, but it should also work together with the playground surfacing, urban furniture, greenery and other equipment.
This is why an extensive collection gives architects and investors a real advantage. It makes it easier to maintain visual consistency and develop the concept without constantly searching for products designed in a completely different visual language.
The concept can also be tested using our online playground design application, which includes all LUDO models and configurations:

Depending on the project requirements, a LUDO play structure can become:
- a self-contained centrepiece of a compact playground,
- part of a larger multifunctional recreation zone,
- a complement to physical, sensory or inclusive play equipment,
- a starting point for creating a complete site development concept.
As a playground equipment manufacturer and provider of complete playground solutions, we understand that a successful project must combine many different perspectives. It should meet the investor's requirements, support the designer's work and, at the same time, create a place children genuinely want to return to.
Multiple routes, multiple ways to play
LUDO's variety is not limited to the number of available configurations. Its essence also lies in the way children can use the equipment.
The structures do not impose a single route leading from the entrance to the slide. Children can choose their own paths, change direction, cross bridges, move through tunnels and nets, climb, balance, observe their surroundings through colourful transparent panels or stop to explore sensory elements.
Every visit can offer a different experience.
One day, the structure can become a forest base hidden among the trees. On another, it can transform into a ship, an underwater research station or an obstacle course. The functions of the equipment remain the same, but the play scenarios can change almost endlessly.
The ability to choose their own route supports children's independence, movement planning, coordination, balance and self-confidence. They can begin with easier activities and gradually take on new challenges.
The variety of functions also allows many children to play at the same time together, but not necessarily in the same way. One child may choose to climb, another may explore a tunnel, a third may interact with a sensory panel, while someone else creates their own story on a platform.
This is when the equipment becomes more than just a structure. It becomes a space for discovery.
One collection. More freedom at every stage
LUDO gives designers the freedom to choose the scale, layout and colour palette of the play structure. It allows investors to select a solution that matches the character and scope of the project. For children, it provides multiple routes, functions and play scenarios.
Two colour versions. Twelve configurations in each. A total of 24 possibilities for creating a space tailored to a specific location.
A good collection should not impose one solution. It should provide a choice:
- for the designer - a choice of equipment that best suits the space,
- for the investor - a solution that corresponds to the scale and character of the project,
- for the child - the freedom to choose their own way to play.
