Play Naturally™

Nature-inspired play is fun and key to kids’ well-being.

With childhood obesity and behavioral disorders on the rise, the

benefits of nature-inspired play have taken center stage, from local

playgrounds to Capitol Hill.

Research shows that children who play in natural settings are typically

healthier, happier and more likely to appreciate the world around

them. Green spaces, sunlight and fresh air can reduce the symptoms

of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, improve academic

performance, increase motor skills, strength and coordination —

even help build social skills. The benefits go on and on.

Our nature-inspired collection is a natural fit when it comes

to planning outdoor play spaces, combining the adventure and

wonder of nature with the durability, safety and low

maintenance of high-quality play equipment.

When combined with real trees, plants

and gardens, you’ve created the optimal

setting for childhood play — even better

than Mother Nature intended.

Rock ClimbersThe challenge of real rock, with safety built in.These realistic-looking climbers are sure to engage kids of all ages with

the rugged fun found only in nature. Our hand-painted concrete rocks

feel like the real thing and contain embedded plant and animal fossils to

as little climbing challenge as they want. And our modular design means

hundreds of play possibilities: Connect a rock climber to a PlayBooster®

or PlayShaper® playsystem, use it as a Freestanding Play event, or

create multiple levels of climbing possibilities by combining two, three

or more rocks.

Innovative and Sustainable by DesignHand-painted concrete: Looks natural and stands

the test of time We use tough-as-nails, hand-painted

concrete to create our Tree House and Rock Climber

components because it offers a natural texture and

appearance that plastic and fiberglass just can’t

match. Our concrete is UV stable and won’t fade, burn,

splinter or crumble. In fact, it just gets better with

age, delivering years of reliable fun, even in the most

punishing weather and environmental conditions.

Steel-reinforced cables provide years of safe,

bouncy fun Made of tightly woven, polyester-wrapped,

six-stranded galvanized-steel cable. These abrasion-

resistant, color-stable cables are extremely durable

and vandal resistant. Powered by Berliner Seilfabrik,

one of the most experienced manufacturers of steel

cables in the world, with a global reputation for

top quality since 1865.

100% post-consumer recycled planks: Creating

a salvaged look from reclaimed materials The two-

color, wood-grain-textured “boards” used to build our

Tree House components actually look like leftover

lumber scraps. But they’re really 100% post-consumer

recycled plastic designed to give the appearance

of real wood. With varying sizes to mix and match,

(2" x 4" and 2" x 6"), your Tree House will take on a

homemade look kids will flock to.

Go Outside!

Bottom line: We need to get kids back outside. Unstructured outdoor play

lets kids do what they do best — learn and grow through play. Time spent

outside encourages them to exercise their bodies and their minds in ways

that indoor activities simply cannot. It helps them develop physically,

cognitively and socially, and ultimately sets the stage for them to become

healthy, productive adults.
