Children's Playground Playset — Structure Plan

About this block

A single playset drawn in plan, 9.4 m across and 6.4 m deep. Four square decks crossed with diagonals mark the roofed towers, a hatched rectangle between the left and right towers is the bridge deck, and slides run off in three directions — a spiral chute swinging out of a large circle on the left, a curved slide arcing away at the top right, and a straight slide ending in a pointed run-out. A rung ladder, three stepping pods and a small half-round platform complete it.

Playground CAD blocks are used to prove that a proposed unit fits its safety zone, and this one supplies the numbers: the structure measures 9.4 by 6.4 m, the fall zone reaches about 1.8 m beyond every deck, and a slide needs a 2 m run-out past its exit. Drop the plan onto a park layout at 1:100 or a school grounds drawing at 1:200, then offset the outline to set out the wet-pour or bark surfacing around it.

The deck squares are about 1.2 m across, the usual modular size, so a tower can be copied and butted against the existing ones to extend the structure without redrawing anything. The hatch on the bridge deck is a separate entity — delete it when the site plan already shows surfacing. Nothing is nested as a block, so every line is directly editable: move a slide to another face of a tower and the plan still reads correctly. 78 entities on three layers, 0-4 and 0-8 among them.
