The combination of climbing, swaying and sliding is a recipe for great fun. The Sherpa invites children and the variety of play activities makes them come back again and again. An accessible stairway offers an easy entry to the platform. The climbing panels add more muscle and cross-coordination training options. From the platform, a stomach-tickling slide ride or a rotating glide brings the child back to ground level, supporting important motor skills such as spatial awareness. This is important when judging distances and managing obstacles safely. The hammock at ground level can be used by all, either as a seat or for lying on tummies. The Sherpa supports a variety of physical skills and additionally the tactile flower panel develops fine motor skills and an understanding of cause-and-effect.

The overall framework applied for these factors is the Environmental Product Declaration (EPD), which quantifies "environmental information on the life cycle of a product and enables comparisons between products fulfilling the same function" (ISO, 2006). This follows the structure and applies a Life-Cycle Assessment approach to the entire Product stage from raw material through manufacturing (A1-A3).
