Base Level

Loaded with play value in a compact space just over 500 square feet, the Acadia Package is accessible and motivating for all ages. Children can climb the stairs or the climbing pole then take the slide to develop trunk stability and a sense of balance. The upper level provides the perfect meeting point with friends, as well as a vantage point of the play space below. With the addition of our wildly popular Spinner Bowls and Double Somersault Bars, this option offers a total package.

Alpine Level

The Yellowstone Package is an exciting play system rich in variations where children can climb and descend Yellowstone tower. The accessible stairway offers a loop of play with a lower and higher slide and a gently swaying hammock. Slides not only develop the child’s sense of balance and trunk stability, but also their ability to take turns and empathize–important social-emotional skills that are hard to teach but easily learned through play. Add a Tipi Carousel with Top Brace and swings to round out the package perfectly.

Summit Level

Welcome to the Grand Canyon! The graduated challenges, rich variation of sliding experiences, and multiple access points of this thrilling play system invite endless fun for children of all ages. The Wackle Bridge is a wonderfully challenging feature, training the sense of balance and developing the ability to securely negotiate space. Cooperation and consideration are a must at the Grand Canyon, maturing children’s social-emotional skills and encouraging friendships. A Spinner Bowl, Combi Swing, and Albatross seesaw nicely complete this package.
