Sensory Playground Equipment
Sensory playgrounds use activities and equipment to stimulate all senses, promoting and encouraging development in kids.
At Miracle Recreation Equipment Company®, we believe every playground should be rich in sensory experiences that bring kids of all abilities together in play — going beyond just the need for wheelchair access. Our team understands the importance of education, interaction, safety and thrill when it comes to sensory playground equipment.
Since 1927, Miracle Recreation has been at the forefront of innovation and design. We customize commercial-grade sensory park playground equipment to fit your needs, whether for a park, daycare, church, campground, housing development or school.
The Importance of Sensory Playground Design
Sensory play contributes to a child’s well-being, benefiting their mind and body in more ways than one. Sensory playground design also plays a critical role in the overall learning experience of children with different needs and physical abilities.
Creating an inclusive and accessible playground presents a lot of benefits to all children regardless of their individual abilities. These benefits include:
- Multisensory play experiences: This type of play helps develop the senses at an early age, improves motor skills and coordination, and promotes cognitive development.
- A safe space for all: An inclusive playground design provides a safe space for all children to play, including kids using mobility devices. Inclusive and accessible playgrounds allow free movement and easy navigation.
- Preventing overstimulation: Giving kids the option to decide how much sensory input they need is a huge advantage of inclusive playground design.
Elevate Play with Sensory Playground Equipment
Sensory playground equipment provides an experience that’s “just-right” for kids needing sensory stimulation. Plus, playground sensory equipment helps kids express emotion, develop problem-solving skills and build lasting confidence. Sensory playground equipment that engages senses of sight, touch, hearing and more, can enrich any play experience.
At Miracle Recreation, we offer a variety of outdoor sensory play equipment that provide sensory benefits to kids. Our vast inventory includes sensory activities such as musical equipment and ground-level play activities, including Ten Spin.

Types of Sensory Panels
Sensory panels are among the most common play equipment for children with unique needs. They offer visual, auditory and tactile stimulation. Miracle Recreation offers a variety of sensory panels to cater to all children, including:
- Textured panels: These panels use different materials to create a variety of textures. Playing with textured panels allows kids to feel more comfortable touching different surfaces and develop a sense of security.
- Mirror panels: Mirror panels are another popular option for planners and developers looking to integrate sensory play into their playgrounds. These panels teach kids how to interact with their reflections. Playing in front of a mirror helps kids understand their body parts and how each movement affects their bodies. Mirror play also encourages creativity and social interaction among children as they come up with their own games.
- Activity panels: Activity panels expose children to a variety of tasks that can stimulate different senses. Activity panels work on several senses — vestibular, proprioceptive and auditory.
