Adventure Trails
What is an adventure trail?
Our outdoor adventure playground equipment can be arranged in any order you like, coming together to create an exciting playground obstacle course – perfect for playgrounds of any size.
Arrange your equipment in a straight line, in a winding course, or in a circular shape – the possibilities are endless with Playdale.
Playdale adventure playgrounds empower you to become an obstacle course designer, with plenty of variation in equipment to keep children of a range of ages engaged, challenged and entertained, as well as many other adventure trail benefits.
Adventure trail equipment
Every playground is unique, just like the children who use them. That’s why we offer a huge range of adventure playground equipment, allowing you to create a unique obstacle course in any way you see fit – whether that’s:
Course A:
Children start on a couple of evenly spaced Log Walk steps before climbing onto the Wobble Board, leading onto the Intertwine adventure equipment – developing balance control. Children can then test their agility and strength on the Tyre Traverse and Shuffle Bars, before climbing the Helvellyn climbing wall and dismounting at the finish line!
Course B:
Start by combining multiple pieces of adventure playground equipment with the Combo 7, a combination of the Swinging Steps and Rope Walk that perfectly challenges agility and balance. Follow up with the Net Bridge, leading on to the Zig Zag Stilts and the Zig Zag Stepper, before finishing with the exhilarating Ben Nevis climbing frame.
Top Tip: You can add an extra touch of excitement to your playground adventure trail by adding Start and Finish Signs or the Interactive Panel with Discs & Trail Timer at either end of your obstacle course.
Here’s one we made earlier: If you aren’t sure where to start when designing your own playground assault course, try one of our pre-designed Playspaces!
Whether you opt for Playspace 3’s straight line of balance and strength or prefer the variation and circular design of Playspace 1 these pre-designed adventure trails are perfect for any playground.
