KFUPM Dhahran Playground Installation – 11 Safe Features

KFUPM Dhahran playground installation was successfully completed by Ebaza Gardens, delivering a fully customized, safe, and engaging outdoor play environment within the residential campus of King Fahd University of Petroleum & Minerals in Dhahran, Saudi Arabia.

This KFUPM Dhahran playground installation was designed to serve families residing within the university housing area, providing children with a dedicated outdoor play space that supports physical activity, creativity, and social interaction. Educational campuses such as KFUPM require playground solutions that meet high standards of safety, durability, and visual integration, while accommodating frequent daily use by children of different age groups.

Playground Planning & Design for KFUPM Dhahran

The planning phase of the KFUPM Dhahran playground installation began with a comprehensive site evaluation conducted by Ebaza Gardens’ technical team. The assessment considered available space, pedestrian movement, nearby residential units, and environmental factors such as sunlight exposure and shade.

Special attention was given to ensuring that the playground layout would remain accessible, safe, and visually appealing within the campus environment. Equipment spacing followed international playground safety recommendations, allowing multiple children to play simultaneously without overcrowding or collision risk. Clear sightlines were maintained to ensure easy supervision by parents and guardians.

The playground design was fully customized to match the institutional setting of KFUPM, combining functional play elements with a clean, modern aesthetic suitable for a university campus.

Playground Equipment Installed at KFUPM Dhahran

The KFUPM Dhahran playground installation includes a large multi-activity play tower as the central feature. This structure consists of multiple elevated platforms connected through safe access stairs and protected by guardrails to ensure child safety.

The play tower features straight slides and curved slides manufactured from premium LLDPE material. These slides provide smooth, controlled movement and are designed to withstand long-term outdoor exposure without fading or cracking. Tunnel elements were incorporated to encourage imaginative play and exploration.

Climbing and balance components were installed to promote physical development, coordination, and strength. These features are especially valuable in educational environments, as they support active play and motor skill development.

A dedicated swing area was installed with multiple swing seats suitable for different age groups. Swings encourage balance, rhythm, and social interaction, making them an essential component of any campus playground.

For younger children, spring riders were installed in playful animal shapes. These elements provide gentle motion play in a safe and engaging manner, making the playground inclusive for toddlers and preschool-aged children.

Safety Flooring & Surface Treatment

As part of the KFUPM Dhahran playground installation, high-quality EPDM rubber flooring was installed across the entire play area. EPDM flooring is widely used in institutional and educational playgrounds due to its excellent shock absorption, slip resistance, and durability.

The flooring was laid over a properly prepared base to ensure long-term performance and stability. Color zoning was used to visually define play areas and enhance the overall appearance of the playground while maintaining safety standards.

Materials & Construction Quality

All steel components used in the KFUPM Dhahran playground installation are manufactured from galvanized steel with weather-resistant powder coating. This ensures strong resistance to corrosion, heat, and outdoor exposure, which is essential for long-term use in Saudi Arabia’s climate.

Plastic components, including slides, tunnels, and decorative panels, are made from premium LLDPE material. These materials are UV-resistant, color-stable, and designed for extended outdoor use without deterioration.

Each piece of equipment was securely anchored and assembled according to professional playground installation standards. All fasteners and connections were carefully inspected to ensure structural integrity and child safety.

Installation Process & Execution

Ebaza Gardens’ experienced installation team carried out the KFUPM Dhahran playground installation with precision and efficiency. The process included ground preparation, EPDM flooring installation, equipment assembly, alignment, and final safety inspections.

The installation was coordinated to minimize disruption within the campus environment. All work was completed within the planned schedule, and the playground was handed over in fully operational condition, ready for immediate use.
