Greenhouse

Find a new meaning to natural play on the Greenhouse play structure. Available in environmentally friendly materials, the Greenhouse is more than just a play set. Toddlers and preschoolers will be excited when they see the two Solo Chute Slides going opposite directions. As they run closer, they'll see Whistle to signal their friends to come play. As they begin to look for a way to reach the upper decks, they find the BigWheel that can drive them through their imagination. Right next to the BigWheel is a Vertical Access Ladder that takes them right up to the two slides. For those that aren't ready to pull themselves up the ladder or would like to run around a bit more, there is a step that leads to the lower deck with another BigWheel on it. As they rush up the steps to reach the slides, they'll have to decide which way to go, knowing that they can go the other way next time.

When choosing a playground it is important to consider where the components have come from. Conditioned wood or recycled metal posts are both opportunities to take part in environmental stewardship. Wood was once a staple of playground design, but as time has continued, it has become less common. But, wood and natural materials make for natural learning environments that can be important for children's development. Several teaching methods use nature and natural tools as ways to reach children. On the other hand, the recycled metal used comes from items that would otherwise rust away in dumps. The recycled plastic comes from specifically milk jugs. As Americans, we tend  to drink a large amount of milk every day. This results in millions of used milk contains every year. Even if the play set purchased only uses a few thousand of those milk jugs, its that many more that didn't end up in a landfill. Your playground purchase can be part of the solution that limits waste.
