Just like Tarzan, children can now climb up into the heights via various types of climbing and balancing apparatus, a suspension bridge and two tree houses, thereby discovering the seemingly dangerous jungle world.
The new playground’s biggest draw is a combined play structure from Berliner’s Greenville product line. The central mast play structure’s spatial net, held firmly in place by a five-way tensioning system, enables children to climb up into tree house Boo, which is attached to the central mast play structure 4.50 m off the ground.
A net tunnel leads directly to tree house Trii.
The two Lianas, in the form of two swinging ropes dangling from curved posts, are an absolute innovation. The goal is to use the lianas to swing your way from stump to stump without falling into the sand below. This offers an enticing challenge for older children in particular.
Thanks to the highly accurate CNC machinery used at Berliner Seilfabrik, any motif can be cut to order. This allows for the creation of playgrounds with highly specific themes.
