We are pleased to offer Gaga Ball Pits in multiple sizes for schools, churches, HOA's, city parks, campgrounds, and countless other recreational areas across the US. Whether you're upgrading a community playground or creating a new play space from scratch, a Gaga Ball Pit is a dynamic, high-energy addition.
What Is Gaga Ball?
Originating in Israel in the 1970s, Gaga Ball gets its name from the Hebrew word "ga-ga," which translates to "touch-touch." The game quickly gained popularity in Jewish summer camps and eventually made its way to the United States. Over the past decade, it has become a beloved activity in playgrounds, schools, and recreation centers nationwide.
Dubbed a kinder, gentler version of dodgeball, Gaga Ball is played with a soft foam ball inside a walled pit. The goal is to strike other players below the knee while avoiding being hit yourself. The game is fast paced and exciting, promoting quick reflexes and constant pavement. With players dodging, running, jumping, and strategizing their next move, Gaga Ball Provides a fun and Inclusive form of physical activity that appeals to kids and adults of all ages.
Benefits of Gaga Ball
There's a reason Gaga Ball has grown in popularity so quickly. It offers a wide range of benefits for players and communities alike:
- Promotes Physical Fitness: Players are constantly moving, which encourages cardiovascular health, agility, and coordination.
- Improves Hand Eye Coordination: The game requires precise timing and skillful aiming, sharpening motor skills in an engaging way.
- Encourages Inclusion: Gaga Ball is known for being accessible to players of varying abilities and fitness levels, making it a greater inclusive game for schoolyards, parks, and camps.
- Fosters Strategic Thinking: Beyond physical movement, players must think ahead and plan their positioning and movements to avoid getting out.
- Safe and Affordable: With a soft ball and low impact rules, Gaga Ball is considered a safer alternative to traditional dodgeball. The investment in a pit is minimal compared to other playground additions.
- Great for All Ages: While it's especially popular among children and teens, adults often enjoy jumping in to play a few rounds as well.
Gaga Ball Pit Options from Noah's Park & Playgrounds
At Noah's Park & Playgrounds, we pride ourselves on offering playground equipment that's durable, safe, and fun, and our new Gaga Ball Pits are no exception. Our original design uses high-quality materials with a proven track record in outdoor play environments.
Each Gaga Ball Pit is constructed using heavy duty HDPE border timbers, reinforced with galvanized steel spikes to ensure stability and longevity. These materials are perfect for outdoor use and stand up well against sun, rain, and constant play.
We offer three standard pit sizes:
- 15 foot diameter (child capacity: 12-16)
- 20 foot diameter (child capacity: 16-20)
- 26 foot diameter (child capacity: 20-25)
Gaga ball pits come in a standard 24 inches tall or a high wall option, which is great for older kids and adults and stands at 32" tall. Gaga Ball Pits can be built to be octagonal, hexagonal, or circular. Because they are built out of playground border timbers, customers are able to choose the shape that will fit their available space, aesthetic, and number of players best. They also have the option to install them in ground, or create a portable pit by surface mounting them.
Easy Installation and Expert Support
Whether you're outfitting a schoolyard, city park, camp, or church, our Gaga Ball Pits are designed for straightforward installation. Many customers choose to assemble them using on site staff or volunteers. For those who prefer assistance, we also offer professional installation services by one of Noah's CPSI certified installers (Certified Playground Safety Inspectors), ensuring compliance with safety standards and local guidelines.
