Monkeying Around

The monkey bars?(AKA overhead climbers)?are a classic playground fixture— many adults still remember the first time they were able to swing their way from one end to the other! Monkey bars are a staple on playgrounds because they provide the perfect balance of challenge and fun.?There are a variety of styles to ensure that all users can be appropriately challenged.

Over the years, climbing and swinging structures have evolved to provide kids with new inclusive play opportunities! Here are some of our picks for other ways to monkey around:

• Branch Out by Play?World:?Inspired by children playing in trees, this?rope-based?line from Playworld?provides many opportunities for climbing and balancing!
• DNA Towers by Berliner: These free-standing structures?add a vertical climbing element for more fun and challenge! Their varied shapes and designs ensure that they can fit into?most play spaces.
• Traverse Rings by Earthscape: These rings hang overhead, giving a little extra swing to your monkeys as they try to cross from one end to the other!

Fun for All Ages

Incorporating fitness features for teens and adults is a great way to help everyone enjoy the benefits of outdoor play! Pull-up bars, ellipticals, and climbing walls will encourage parents,?older siblings, and community members to be more than bystanders at the park.
