Cover quote: The Alliance for ChildhoodC2

“Going out to play”used to mean just that.It was all parents needed to say – all kids needed to hear. Therest took care of itself. A simpler time.

Maybe it’s the heavy soccer schedule and the music lessons.The homework and the events. The fi lling in and fencing off ofopen spaces.

All in the name of progress, certainly – but all chipping awayat the times and places where kids could unleash energy, explore abilities, and let imaginations run free.

Is it game over? Not by a longshot.

It’s game on. Time to re-level the playing fi eld – creating spaces and opportunities for great play experiences.

Because the world needs play. But play needs a world... a world that remembers how it’s done. And why it matters.

So join us. Become an activist of play in its purest form, where imaginations run wild.

It’s time to play on. And on.

SUSTAIN

For more about all of our sustainable initiatives, visit PlayworldSystems.com/Green

Saving play (and the planet)Everyone plays a part in saving play and the environments where play happens. You want to feel confi dent thatsustainable manufacturing practices mirror your efforts, not work against them. We help you take the guessworkout of the equation by using premium green materials, eco-friendly processes, and a holistic approach to responsible manufacturing processes.

The PVC-Free PledgePlayworld Systems has eliminated 99.999% of PVC from our play equipment thanks to Eco-Armor®, our smart, durable alternative to PVC coatings.

Total Carbon Footprint ReductionSome companies measure only what happens within their walls. With every playground we create, we measure our entire carbon footprint, tracking all greenhouse gases our company and our partners put into the environment. It’s the honest way to measure our real impact – and make a real difference.

Lean & Green ManufacturingWe hold ourselves and our vendors to a lean manufacturing standard, resulting in signifi cant energy savings. Over 70% of our manufacturing supplies come from vendors within 150 miles of our facility, meaning less fuel burned in transporting materials.

We RecycleNinety-fi ve percent of the waste we generate, and virtually all our playgrounds and packaging are made with recycled, recyclable and biodegradable materials. Right down to the glue on our boxes.

Cradle to Cradle Certifi edCM SilverWe’re proud to be the only commercial playground manufacturer to receive the Silver Certifi cation* from the Cradle to Cradle Products

Innovation Institute; a non-profi t organization that’s changing the way products are made and their impact on human and environmental health.

Development & Strategies

“We respected what was compelling and playworthy in the original dome,

and brought a new level of depth and relevance to it. The added dimension offers more fun and

engagement for today’s kids.”

Unity* - In, On & AroundUnity is a place where kids meet, work together to create games and music, and claim Unity as a place that’s theirs…where they can hang out, climb to the top, gather together in the rings as they chat…a unique destination on the playground that provides them a place to form deeper bonds while they experience physical, sensory and social activities.

Inclusivity is built into every aspect of Unity. There is accessibility for children that use mobility devices, as well as transfer points so everyone can play.

Rushmore*

If you’ve played on a hill, you know it’s a fantastic environment for play: running up and rolling down. Sledding. Kicking back and watching the clouds. Meeting friends and claiming it as your kingdom. What if you could bring hillside play to your playground? Now you can – with Rushmore: the only climbing hill structure of its kind.

Just like a hill, Rushmore has visual impact and large capacity for kids to gather. It prompts creativity, teamwork, and plenty of action. For any playground, it’s a focal point, a meeting place and a favorite destination.

For more information, see page 218.

Rushmore = Play moreTough, textured treads on each side of Rushmore invite climbing up and sliding, rolling, or bouncing down. Kids can also weave their way into the “cave” underneath, where they can perch on suspended seats and watch the fun.

Rushmore is a component of Playmakers® or Challengers® playgrounds.

Nuvo™ PlaygroundIn the spirit of innovation and imagination, we’ve incorporated more curves, contours and organic shapes into our playgrounds in the past few years. Now we’ve focused those elements into a defi ned vision, inspired by the Art Nouveau movement. We call it Nuvo.

Fresh, Fluid… and FunWe’ve replaced hard geometric angles and heavy industrial profi les with nature-inspired organic shapes and fl uid contours. The result is something more naturalistic, approachable and thought-provoking: a playful, inviting sculptural play environment.

Cruise Line*

Blending a fl oating, fl ying sensation with the excitement of a track ride, the Cruise Line is both thrilling and inviting. One or more riders can sit, stand, or lie down and enjoy the ride while others push, pull and run alongside.

Designed for kids ages 5-12, the Cruise Line is especially appealing to older kids with its high energy interactive play. It’s a great physical workout and an intellectual challenge as well, for while it’s easy to understand the concept of Cruise Line, you have to experiment to master it.

Launch your own Cruise Line – it’s time to soar.

The result, a surprisingly active and engaging way to move through space!”

Over 16,000 children are seen annually in emergency rooms due to accidents on playgrounds that result in traumatic brain injuries, like concussions. Playworld Systems is devoted to providing safe play, and we are proud to offer you SMARTE Safety Surfacing.

Our patented SMARTE protects no matter if your playground’s fall height is 4’ (1,22m) or 10’ (3,05m) under a HIC* value of 500, the threshold at which concussions may occur. The current industry standard remains 1000.

For more information, see page 166.

* HIC (Head Impact Criterion) values are a measure of shock absorbing properties of playground surfacing —the lower the number, the safer the surfacing.
