Playground Overview

Students at Forest Elementary in Des Plaines, Illinois, have been busy exploring their nature-inspired tip-up tree. This custom split-log tunnel encourages kids ages 5 to 12 to climb in, around, through, up and out while exploring its bumpy tactile surface. This unique element is accompanied by a couple standard Log Tunnels and a Pointe™ Climber. Additionally, a PlayBooster® playstructure offers more traditional challenges like the Thunderhead Climber®, Rollerslide, and SlideWinder2® playground slide.
