Pioneer

Forge a new way on the playground with the Pioneer. A spread out configuration, all the little settlers on your playground will have plenty of space to play. Starting at the outskirts of the structure, kids will find themselves in front of the PlayShell Tunnel. As they crawl through to the other side, they'll catch glimpses of the expanse around them. Once they arrive at the Access Deck children are ready to head to the next portion of the structure. They can take the Handring Traverse to the outlying regions or shimmy down the Banister Bars to the ground. When they're ready, they can head back up the PlayPod Pedestals to reach the main structure. For those that chose the Handring Traverse, they can work their way from the Labyrinth Panel across the PlayPod Pedestals, Log Climbers, and PlayShell Climbers. Some children might opt to stay on the main section of the climber and run across the Suspension Bridge. Back on the main decks, kids will play on the BigWheel while trying out the Mountain Climb and Curly Climber. At the end they can slip down the Triple Slide. When they're ready for a break, they can seek out the Double Seats underneath the main deck.

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.
