Play Curl

Overview

Play Curl creates a transparent yet secluded adventure area for children. It combines vertical play with nature, discovery and active play experiences. Children enter the curl from ground level using the climbing elements suspended underneath the equipment.

Inspiration

The play curl is inspired by magical moments in nature such as how sunlight passing through the leaves forms shadows and pockets of light on the forest floor. The skin of the play curl mimics the vein patterns of leaves such that this magical moment of nature can be reenacted when the children play amidst the structure.

Design

When children enter the Play Curl, they find themselves between the trees, where they can move around safely and freely due to its transparent nature while experiencing the magical aspects of nature. While immersed in their world within the Play Curl, the children are still visible from outside for safety purposes.

play elements

The play curl consists of three towers which are connected via two bridges. Numerous play elements such as climbing nets, climbing, crawling and balancing components are thoughtfully placed across the curl. There are many different routes for children to take, each with different difficulty levels such that a large variety of children will find the play curl challenging and fun.

Tree Interconnected Towers

The Play Curl consists of three towers connected with two bridges that cross over walking paths beneath. Each play tower can be accessed from below and has at least two different climbing routes to get to the bridges. Children can choose between a ‘difficult’ or an ‘easy’ way up depending on their own climbing skills. This keeps the tower challenging no matter the child.

Traverse Climbing Route

Challenge yourself passing through by using the traverse climbing route instead of walking on the netting.

Balancing Coconut Rope

Do balancing training with this coconut rope to strengthen your legs and core muscles that help keep you upright. Balancing exercise can improve stability and help prevent falls.
