Why Hop Pads Are the Secret Ingredient to a Thriving Playground
Playgrounds are more than slides and swings—they’re gateways to adventure. Every leap, climb, and crawl tells a story, and the right equipment transforms ordinary play into extraordinary journeys. That’s why features like hop pads and frog hopper steps are essential: they spark imagination, build confidence, and connect kids to the thrill of movement.
