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.

Tree HouseMeet our new Tree House components!This year, there are so many nature-inspired play options to choose from
for all ages, spaces and budgets.
Build a Tree House for 5- to 12-year-olds with naturalisitic PlayBooster®
components, or for 2- to 5-year-olds with PlayShaper®. Then enrich the
environment with new components like Log Benches, a Log Crawl Tunnel
and even a split Log Balance Beam. And don’t forget to plant lots of trees
and gardens and encourage kids to explore the world around!
We took Mother Nature’s lead.Our Tree House components are all inspired by the great outdoors. Made of hand-painted concrete for a realistic look and texture. Its playground-friendly durability and 100% post-consumer recycled plastic wood-grain planks enhance the kid-made theme.

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
discover. A variety of hand- and footholds provide kids with as much or
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.
