Teen Zones
Reimagining Outdoor Areas for Teens and Young Adults
A Teen Zone is an outdoor area designed specifically for the needs of teens and young adults. “We just want somewhere to hang out” is the call from teenagers when they are asked by local authorities what they would like to see in their local area.
With that in mind, a teen zone should ideally provide some casual seating options, facilities for a variety of unstructured sports & recreation activities, and enough free space that the users of the facility can just do their own thing.
It is important to find a balance between being overly prescriptive (teens don’t generally like being told what to do!) and providing enough facilities to make the area usable and fun.
How to create a top Teen Zone!
- Consult with local teens, community groups, and leaders to understand the specific needs and challenges in your area.
- Design an area that incorporates the right mix of facilities and equipment, and that will give the local community a Teen Zone to be proud of.
- Develop the site, ensuring equipment and materials used are robust, vandal-resistant, weatherproof, and of course, functional.
OUTFIT can help with every step of the Teen Zone process, using our extensive industry experience to design the area and to propose the right mix of equipment, and drawing from our wide range of suppliers to ensure all equipment supplied meets the highest standards.
