Playground Equipment: Play Trails

Play Trails is a revolutionary phenomena that links pockets of play elements in a linear play pattern along or within a trail system. Each "Play Pocket" is themed with either flora inspired elements like leaves, trees, mushrooms, and flowers or fauna "critters" like dragonflies, frogs, turtles, spiders, bees, and ants. The breakthrough is the combination of parent/child interaction on the play elements and between the play pockets. Both children and adults benefit from this vigorous playful exercise, while enjoying the beauty of the natural outdoor environment along the trail.

Play Trails combines the best of play with elements of nature. Play Trails Activities are grouped in Play Pockets along the trail, and each Play Pocket features a sign that teaches (in a non-formal way) fun facts about the subject's contributions to nature! Learn about the metamorphosis of a butterfly while climbing on his wings or spinning in a chrysalis. Discover the many ways a spider uses its silk, then climb into a larger than life web of your own.
