Finished Playground

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. Having the three towers all connected, children can move freely across the towers while experiencing a variety of play and challenges as they make their way through.

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.

Bridges

These two bridges with a armed rope net base connect the three towers, enabling the children to travel freely across to different towers.

Climbing Wall

Climbing cleats spread across the skin of the play curl for children looking for a more challending route to climb across using them.

Climbing Rope

A simple yet versatile feature that challenges children to pull, grip, and balance using their upper body strength. It encourages coordination, endurance, and confidence as they climb vertically or across angled routes.

Balancing Coconut Rope

Hanging at the bottom of the structure, the coconut rope is a fun way for children to test their balancing skills as they inch their way across the thick rope.
