Whether you’re three years old or twelve, the cableway/flying fox is always great fun and remains a firm favourite in any commercial playground setting, from holiday parks to school playgrounds.

Besides being fun, the cableway/flying fox teaches children several important lessons and skills. While playing on the cableway, children are encouraged to acknowledge and interact with one another. They learn social skills such as taking turns and handing over the seat to the next in line.

    What Makes Zipline Playground Equipment So Much Fun? 

    Commercial ziplines are a great addition to any UK playground, and children will love the whole experience - as with any freestanding unit. Adding cableway/flying fox playground equipment to your play area can enhance your experience. Riding on a zipline at the playground takes the traditional swing experience to new heights. The excitement builds as you anticipate the ride from the freestanding zipline platform, receive the seat and then feel the thrilling sensation of your stomach tickling as you soar down the zipline. It's an incredible feeling!

    A sense of achievement enhances the entire experience as this playful leap of faith for many children is a first experience in overcoming an obstacle, thus boosting self-confidence. That's why children will go back to a zipline ride repeatedly. 

    The Benefits of Playground Ziplines 

    The playground zipline has a strong magnetic pull due to the thrilling experience of gliding through the air. The feeling of weightlessness, speed, and floating helps children develop their spatial awareness and understanding of gravity, space, and speed, which is important for safe traffic management. Additionally, children learn social skills by properly handing back the seat to the next person in line. The physical activity of running and pulling the zipline also helps train their cardio and upper body muscles.
