🎶 5 Tips for Creating an Inclusive Musical Playground
Every child deserves the chance to experience the joy of making music.

At Percussion Play, we believe great playgrounds are designed for everyone, regardless of age, ability, or background. Here are five simple ways to make your outdoor musical space more inclusive.

🎵 1. Make it accessible
Choose instruments that can be reached and enjoyed by children of all abilities, including wheelchair users and those with limited mobility.
🎵 2. Offer a variety of sounds
Different musical instruments create different sensory experiences. A mix of drums, chimes, bells, and xylophones encourages children to explore in their own way.
🎵 3. Encourage children to play together
Arrange instruments so children can face one another and create music as a group. Music is a wonderful way to build confidence, communication and friendships.
🎵 4. Think beyond the playground
Outdoor musical instruments are enjoyed by people of all ages, from toddlers and schoolchildren to parents, grandparents, and older adults. Design spaces that bring generations together.
🎵 5. Let nature be your stage
Surround your musical playground with trees, flowers, and open green spaces to create a calming environment where music and nature work hand in hand.

Inclusive musical playgrounds don't just create happier playtimes, they build stronger communities where everyone feels welcome.

Product Spotlight: Cattail Chimes

Inspired by the familiar reeds and bullrushes found in natural landscapes, our Cattail Chimes create a beautiful meeting point between music, nature, and community.

Their gentle, harmonic tones invite people of all ages to stop, play, and connect, whether that's grandparents and grandchildren exploring together, friends enjoying a walk through the park, or visitors simply taking a mindful moment for themselves.

Designed for parks, nature trails, woodlands, sensory gardens, and public spaces, Cattail Chimes encourage spontaneous musical interaction and shared experiences across generations.

Because outdoor music isn't just for children. It's for everyone.

Swap Screen Time For music This Summer

Looking for fun, screen-free activities during the summer holidays?
Music is a fantastic way to keep children active, creative and engaged while making lasting family memories.

Here are five simple ideas to get started:

Take music outdoors – Visit your local park, playground or garden and let nature become the backdrop to your musical adventures.
Let children lead – Encourage them to explore sounds, rhythms and melodies with no rules or expectations. Creativity thrives through free play!
Join in together – The best memories are made when families make music together. You don't need to be a musician—just have fun!
Find inspiration in nature – Can you copy the sound of birds, the wind or the rain? Turn everyday sounds into your own outdoor orchestra.
Discover musical play spaces – If you're out and about this summer, keep an eye out for outdoor musical instruments in parks, schools, museums and community spaces.

Music brings people together, builds confidence, sparks imagination and makes every summer adventure a little more memorable.

How will your family be making music this summer? Share your ideas in the comments.

🐞🎶 What a wonderful way to welcome visitors to Norfolk Public Library - Lafayette Branch!

Their beautiful new 'Some Bug' StoryWalk®, surrounded by colorful donated flowers, has been brought to life with our Liberty Bells, Ladybug, and Cattail Chimes.

StoryWalks® encourage children and families to move, explore, and engage with stories in a whole new way. Adding musical instruments creates an extra layer of interaction - inviting visitors to become part of the story through sound, rhythm, and creative play. Whether they're creating buzzing insect-inspired tunes, exploring gentle chime melodies, or simply pausing to experiment with sound as they move from page to page, music helps transform reading into a rich, multi-sensory experience.

By combining literacy, movement, nature, and music, spaces like this inspire imagination, curiosity, and joyful learning for visitors of all ages.

Bravo to Norfolk Public Library for creating such an inviting community destination! 👏✨

Planning Some Fun Summer Experiences?

Here are 5 amazing parks across the US where you can explore and play Percussion Play outdoor musical instruments this summer!

🎵 Auburn Park, Alabama.A truly inclusive park, designed and built in Auburn, Alabama, which has quickly become a cherished space for the local community. This innovative park offers a welcoming environment for people of all ages and abilities, ensuring that everyone can enjoy its amenities.
🎵 Musical Parklet in Marine City Michigan. Nestled along the scenic Bridge to Bay Trail in St. Clair County, Michigan, a unique musical parklet in Marine City invites trail users to pause, play, and connect through music.
🎵 Harris County Precinct 2 Inclusive Parks. Precinct 2 encompasses nearly 560 square miles of East Harris County and is home to more than 55 parks and 27 miles of trails.
Percussion Play’s instruments are featured in most of the parks with colorful Rainbow Chimes, Harmony Flowers and Harmony Bells as well as Rainbow Cavatinas, and Sunflower.
🎵 Lions Pride Park. Lions Pride Park in Chalfont, Pennsylvania has breathed new life into a disused space. The popular outdoor space has even been named one of 2021’s Great Places in Pennsylvania by the American Planning Association’s Pennsylvania Chapter in the category of ‘Great Public Spaces’.
🎵 Governor Jim Hogg City Park A new area of the park was created to focus on inclusive play. Wanting equipment that was both attractive and intellectually and physically stimulating, the instruments selected by the Quitman Pilot Club help users enhance their motor skills and allow a diverse group of people to be able to socially engage with one another to have fun and make some great music.

From inclusive playgrounds and community parks to sensory-rich outdoor spaces, these destinations are bringing people together through the joy of music and play.
