Bouncing Fun, Lasting Growth: Our Spring Playground Equipment

Ever see a kid light up as they bounce back and forth on a playground ride? That’s the magic we’re all about. At PlaygroundEquipment.com, our Spring Riders, Bouncers, and See Saws bring big smiles, big movement, and even bigger imagination to outdoor spaces. One second, they're galloping with wild ponies. Next, they're buzzing through the playground on our favorite frog, Filbert Frog. It’s more than just play—it’s a way for kids to move, play pretend, and grow.

Why Do Kids Love Spring Riders So Much?

There’s just something about that bouncing. 

Unlike static playground equipment, spring riders rock, sway, and move with kids, giving them a real sense of motion, like riding a pony or cruising in a little truck. That movement isn’t just fun—it helps kids build coordination, balance, and strength, too.

They’re working their bodies and stretching their imaginations at the same time. That’s a win-win.

Meet the Riders: A Whole Crew of Bouncy Buddies

Horses? Sure. But we’ve got way more. Our spring riders come in a variety of fun forms—from animals to machines and everything in between.

  • Filbert Frog – A solo rider ready for swampy adventures.
  • After While Crocodile – Big enough for two riders with a double-spring setup.
  • Charlie Chomper – A dino built for Jurassic-level fun.
  • Tommy Truck and Benny Bulldozer – For kids who love big wheels, gears, and digging in.
