Project Description
Ebaza Gardens recently completed this outdoor playground installation for a private residence in Riyadh, where the existing garden was turned into a more active space for children without losing its landscaped character.
The site already had palm trees, planted areas and open lawn, so the installation was planned around what was already there. A large multi-activity playground with straight, double and tube slides was positioned as the main feature, while swings, a trampoline, a merry-go-round, a spring rider and a caterpillar crawl tunnel were placed across the surrounding garden.
What makes this project stand out is the mix of activities within one residential setting. Children are not limited to a single playset; they can move from sliding and swinging to jumping, crawling, rocking and group play in different parts of the garden.
The finished result is a complete home playground that feels integrated into the property rather than added as an afterthought, giving the family a dedicated outdoor space that children can return to for different kinds of play every day.
Scope of Work – How the Playground Was Installed
The installation started with a site assessment and marking of the required positions for the playground equipment. The available garden space, existing landscape, trees, ground condition, and clear working areas were checked before installation began.
Once the positions were confirmed, the team marked the fixing points and prepared the ground for installation.
Where ground foundations were required, the team carried out controlled digging and excavation at the marked locations. The holes were prepared according to the fixing requirements of the equipment so that the supporting structures could be installed securely.
The structural posts and frames were then positioned and checked for correct level and alignment. Concrete was poured around the required foundation points to create a strong base and prevent movement during use. The concrete was allowed to set properly before the installation was completed.
For equipment installed on prepared or hard surfaces, the team used drilling and mechanical fixing methods where required. Anchor points, bolts, brackets, and connections were tightened carefully to keep the structures stable and properly secured. The installation was completed only after checking that the fixed structures were stable, properly aligned, and ready for normal playground use.
Playground Equipment Installed
Multi-Activity Playground Structure
The main playground structure combines several activities within one unit(multi activity playset) and creates the focal point of the garden. It includes elevated play platforms, access steps, decorative play panels, protective barriers, colorful themed roofs, and multiple slide options. By combining different activities vertically, the structure provides more play value without requiring each activity to occupy a separate area of the garden.
Straight Slide
A yellow open straight slide provides children with a simple and easily accessible sliding activity connected directly to the elevated playground platform.
Double Slide
The red double slide allows two children to slide alongside each other, adding a more social element to the playground and making the main structure suitable for children playing together.
Enclosed Tube Slide
The playground also includes a longer enclosed tube slide connected to one of the raised sections of the structure. Its enclosed design gives children a different experience from the open slides and adds variety to repeated play.
Multi-Seat Swing Set
A separate heavy-duty swing structure was installed beside the main playground. The combination of different swing seats provides another type of movement-based activity and allows more than one child to use the swings area at the same time.
Outdoor Trampoline with Safety Enclosure
A large trampoline was installed as an independent activity within the garden. The trampoline includes a surrounding safety enclosure and padded perimeter sections, creating a dedicated space for active jumping away from the main playground structure.
Children’s Merry-Go-Round
The project includes a colorful children’s merry-go-round with multiple seats. This activity encourages children to play together rather than individually and adds rotational movement to the overall mix of playground activities.
Horse Spring Rider
A horse-themed spring rider provides a simple rocking activity particularly suitable for younger children. Its compact footprint also makes it useful for filling smaller parts of a garden that would not accommodate a large playground structure.
Caterpillar Crawl Tunnel
One of the most distinctive additions to the project is the colorful caterpillar-shaped crawl tunnel. Children can enter through the character-shaped opening and crawl through the connected body sections. It brings imaginative play into the garden while providing an activity that is very different from sliding or swinging.
Benefits of This Playground Installation
More Activities Within One Garden
The biggest advantage of this project is the variety it provides. Children are not limited to only a slide or swing. Within the same outdoor area, they can climb, slide, crawl, swing, jump, rock, rotate, and interact with other children. This makes the playground more engaging during everyday use.
Better Use of the Available Space
The playground was arranged around the existing garden rather than unnecessarily occupying the entire landscape. Larger equipment was placed where adequate space was available, while smaller activities were used strategically in other parts of the garden. This allowed the property to retain much of its landscaped character while gaining a complete children’s recreation area.
Activities for Different Interests
Not every child enjoys the same type of play. Some children prefer climbing and slides, while others spend more time on swings, trampolines, tunnels, or rocking activities. Providing several types of equipment makes the space useful for children with different play preferences.
Encourages Active Outdoor Play
A well-equipped home playground gives children a convenient reason to spend more time outdoors. Activities such as climbing, swinging, crawling, jumping, and sliding naturally involve physical movement and make outdoor recreation more enjoyable than an empty garden area.
Supports Social Play
The double slide, multi-seat swing arrangement, trampoline, crawl tunnel, and merry-go-round create opportunities for children to enjoy the playground together. This makes the installation particularly useful for families with several children or homes where relatives and friends frequently visit.
A Practical Addition to Residential Properties
For families with available outdoor space, installing a playground at home creates a convenient recreational area that can be used without needing to travel to an outside play facility every time children want to play.
Conclusion
This Riyadh playground project demonstrates how a residential garden can accommodate a surprisingly wide range of children’s activities when the equipment and layout are selected carefully.
By combining a multi-activity playground structure with slides, swings, an enclosed tube slide, trampoline, merry-go-round, spring rider, and crawl tunnel, the finished space gives children multiple reasons to stay active, explore, and play together.
Every site, however, has different dimensions, surroundings, users, and requirements. A playground for a villa garden will not be planned in exactly the same way as one intended for a school, nursery, public park, residential compound, or indoor facility.
