Why Are Targets So Popular at STM?

10th October 2016

As part of our EPIC playground product at Synthetic Turf Management, our target designs are considered the most popular bespoke feature that is offered to schools. EPIC or education and play in colour is a way of turning a school area into something practical and educational whilst encouraging children to play outdoors and be active. As every playground is different this means that we have to create a bespoke project which means that each and every one of our customers can pick exactly what they want.

Their diversity

There are so many different shapes, designs, colours and sizes to choose from with a playground target. Therefore, we can create something completely individualised. This means that if, for example, you would like a target which adheres to the colours of your school logo. We can do that!

How they can be used

As part of your playground installation of course. How you choose it to be used is up to you!

 Alphabet targets are educational and encourage younger children to remember certain letters and sounds. We can also do this with phonics!

Mini targets are often used as a hop scotch type game which can be perfect for practising balancing skills in a PE lesson.

Within a playground is the most popular choice. Children always find a way of incorporating this fantastic feature into their playground games.

Optimising a space

Instead of leaving a blank space… well… blank! Think of what can be done with it? As part of your synthetic turf install this feature really can make best use out of a space, plus they’re available in all sorts of different shapes and sizes which means you can indeed make the most out of your playground with something so simple, yet revolutionary at the same time!

Eye-catching

One thing that we always love to make sure of at STM is that our products and designs are encouraging. We strive for every school to have vibrant outdoor facilities so that playing outdoors is more fun! This in turn creates a love of outside spaces and we think this encourages children in future to take up sports, which we all know have thousands of benefits!
