another are just one example of how GameTime leads
the play industry in inclusive play environments, and
how we have given everyone equal opportunity to
reach the heights of the playground!

GameTime also provides more programs and
curricula to maximize the use of the play space for
children, parents, teachers and after school program
directors. Our Play On! curriculum was designed
to meet NASPE standards for physical education
and includes 100 age-appropriate activities to help
incorporate your playground into a fitness regimen.

GameTime's NatureGrounds program was designed
to help facility owners incorporate nature and the
built playground, to provide the ultimate in learning
and discovery. We can show you what your new
playground will look like " naturalized " with plants,
trees, and shrubs, then provide you and your
landscape architect with the product list to make it a
reality. With the complimentary guidebook and web
resources, you won't believe how easy, and fun, it is
to create a nature inspired play space that fosters an
appreciation in the community for the natural world!

or over 80 years, GameTime has been
revolutionizing the way children play. Being
the " Leader in Play " is a responsibility we take
very seriously. By sponsoring independent research
studies and incorporating the findings into our product
designs, we ensure our products will be beneficial
to children's growth and development in addition to
being fun!

" Play today is about more than
colorful equipment, it's nature,
fitness, music, discovery, and more. "
The GTJams Playbook is another program that will
allow you to use certain playground components
to teach children about music appreciation and
history, while meeting the National Standards for
Education and Fitness. We also offer the EveryBODY
Plays program, which is an educational resource
emphasizing inclusive, universally designed play
spaces. Our double wide ramps that allow two
mobility devices to pass or move alongside one

Just as we do with safety and accessibility,
GameTime takes an above compliance attitude
toward keeping our world green. We make it our
responsibility to make sure our manufacturing
processes leave as small a mark on the world as
possible. We are both ISO 9001 and 14001 certified
and were the first playground manufacturer to
become a member of the USGBC, joining in August
2007. We can help site owners who are working
toward LEED certification understand what part their
playground can play in the overall process.
GameTime realizes that today's children are
tomorrow's leaders and what they learn on the
playground will be beneficial to their development long
after they outgrow the equipment.
