Playground & Bouncy Balls

Ball games have long been a favourite outdoor activity for all ages. Rubber playground balls are versatile and can be used to play fun games like kickball and dodgeball, or to simply roll around and toss around in the yard. Canadian Tire has a selection of bouncy balls in different colours and prints to play with outdoors.

What are the different types of playground balls?

Playground balls are perfect for rolling and kicking back and forth at the park or any other outdoor space. These rubber bouncy balls are light and appropriate for all ages and can be used to play a variety of games. There are both classic rubber balls as well as large inflatable ride-ons for bouncing.

What is the best type of ball to choose for generally playing in the yard?

For general yard play, light, child-friendly rubber playground balls are best. These balls can come with fun prints of favourite kids’ cartoons such as Spiderman, Frozen, and PAW Patrol or in bright colours.

What is the best ball to play kickball?

Kickball should be played with an 8 to 9-in properly inflated ball, suitable for outdoor play. It should be made of durable rubber and be able to withstand the elements, rough surfaces, and regular play.
