Play Sets for Older Kids

Today’s play sets are a great example of the evolution of outdoor entertainment; think about high, towering structures with connecting hanging bridges, tall rock-climbing walls and challenging monkey bars; these are just some of the features of play sets that call to the daring and encourage the adventurous spirit! These wonderfully varied structures are designed to engage older kids in activities that not only entertain but also promote physical fitness and coordination.

For older kids, the thrill of conquering heights is an irresistible call; play sets with rock-climbing walls, gangplanks with a rope to pull themselves upwards and chain ladders provide a great outlet for their boundless energy. These features not only promote strength, agility and coordination but also give kids a sense of accomplishment and emotional satisfaction.

No play set for older kids is complete without a tall slide! From the classic, smooth rides to wavy ones and even enclosed twisty tunnels, here you can find a cool variety of slides that will satisfy every need for a heart-stopping descent. Tall, Super Spiral open slides as well as Twisty Turbo tubes will give your older kids hours of fun and imaginative play. The Extreme Ripple Rush slide allows them to speed down in ripples, and the Tunnel Express and Sidewinder slides provide older children with a fast, smooth ride down!

Swings are a must-have on any play set but for older kids, consider the more adventurous options we have, starting with a Trapeze bar, which will always be a fun challenge to master, while at the same time providing a great workout for upper body strength. The same goes for the Trapeze Ball and the Ball Swing, which will also develop fine and gross motor skills, as well as whole-body strength. Our Cyclone Disk and Chain Ladder swing are also cool daredevil options that will promote the development of imagination and creativity while making their bodies stronger.

Beyond the sheer joy of swinging from bar to bar or from ring to ring, these challenging structures contribute significantly to physical and cognitive development. Playing with monkey bars and trapeze ring climbers promotes upper-body strength, grip strength and overall coordination. The repetitive movements needed to navigate from bar to bar or ring to ring also help refine fine and gross motor skills and, additionally, mastering the art of doing so promotes a sense of accomplishment and confidence, as kids conquer challenges and build resilience.
