Musical Play Applications

Tailored instrument packages for every environment.

Senior Living

We believe music brings joy at every stage of our lives, continuing to enrich, inspire, and connect us. Our products are designed to bring people together, spark creativity, and encourage gentle movement in ways that are accessible to older adults. Westplay helps design an outdoor music area that’s comfortable and accessible, with thoughtful placement near seating and pathways, clear circulation, and durable, low-maintenance instruments built for year-round outdoor use.

Schools & Daycares

Add more learning and more play to a daycare yard—without needing a big footprint or complicated equipment. They invite children to explore sound through tapping, shaking, and rhythm, building early skills like listening, coordination, and turn-taking. They’re also a great inclusive option for different learning styles, including sensory play.

Campgrounds, National and Provincial Parks

Our instruments create a fun “gathering spot” that guests of all ages can enjoy. They add a memorable experience beyond the playground, encourage family interaction, and help kids stay engaged while parents relax nearby. They’re also durable and low-maintenance—ideal for high-traffic outdoor environments.

Inclusive Communities

Outdoor musical instruments are a powerful way to make a daycare play space more inclusive and accessible. Music play doesn’t depend on language, reading, or “doing it the right way”—kids can participate at their own pace through simple actions like tapping, shaking, and repeating rhythms. That makes it especially supportive for different learning styles, sensory needs, and children who benefit from predictable, calming play.

Churches and Museums

Outdoor musical instruments create a welcoming, family-friendly space where kids can play before/after services and during community events. They encourage positive, social play, add an inclusive activity for different ages and abilities, and help turn outdoor areas into a warm gathering place for the whole congregation

Ideal For

Municipal parks · Landscape architecture projects · School districts & daycares · Housing developments · Senior Living Spaces · Farms · Museum, Zoos, Trails
