Super Netplex® Climber Towers challenge children to constantly respond to their own movements as well as the movement of other children climbing on the net. This improves their balance, flexibility and motor coordination. The subtle movements of the net help build overall core trunk muscle strength. Children are challenged to climb in an infinite number of ways as they move up, down and all around this unique net climber. A variety of different climbers can be used in the interior to provide access for all to the upper levels.

Imaginative Play
The We-Go-Round® is a merry-go-round that invites everyone to spin! It is designed so that children using wheeled mobility devices can wheel right in and enjoy the rotation that comes from a merry-go-round experience. All riders can contribute to the spinning of the We-Go-Round by using the center post wheel. Alternatively, children can create spin by pushing from the outside of the structure. The design encourages social play by all children as riders and pushers cooperate to make this a fun vestibular experience for every child. Those pushing get to work on motor planning and coordination though the engagement of the proprioceptive receptors in their muscles and joints.
