Bring the fun to children on the Fortress play structure. Made up of several different levels, kids will access new levels of fun as they climb. At the ground level, they can play with a BigWheel to make believe that they are in a car race. Or use the Whistle to gather everyone’s attention for a game of Find ‘n Seek. The spinner features six easily recognizable images that are on tabs that can be placed around the structure. This makes it a fun and ever changing game. Once they are ready, kids can hop across the Stepping Stone Bridge on the three floating platforms to reach the Labyrinth Panel. As they ascend the stairs next to it, they might have friends coming up the sides. As they crawl through the tunnel and begin to choose which slide to go down, a final group of kids may make their way up the to join them.
When choosing a playground it is important to consider where the components have come from. Conditioned wood or recycled metal posts are both opportunities to take part in environmental stewardship. Wood was once a staple of playground design, but as time has continued, it has become less common. But, wood and natural materials make for natural learning environments that can be important for children’s development. Several teaching methods use nature and natural tools as ways to reach children. On the other hand, the recycled metal used comes from items that would otherwise rust away in dumps. The recycled plastic comes from specifically milk jugs. As Americans, we tend to drink a large amount of milk every day. This results in millions of used milk contains every year. Even if the play set purchased only uses a few thousand of those milk jugs, its that many more that didn’t end up in a landfill. Your playground purchase can be part of the solution that limits waste.
Be sure to check out the Harbor which is almost the same as the Fortress, except to replaces the Solo Chute Slide with a Bench.
