The Pathfinder ramp play unit is an immense attraction for toddlers due to its wide variety of physical, social-emotional and cognitive-creative play elements. The climbing, sliding, swaying, turning, experimenting and friendship creating opportunities make toddlers want to return again and again. The first ramp turning space offers a great variation of sensory play in play panels, training agility as well as logical thinking skills and cooperative play. On the next turning point, additional access opportunities are added via the twisted play net, which increases layered physical stimulation and social interaction. At the end of the ramp, sensory play panels invite exploration. Varied sliding doors for co-operative or individual entertainment makes for versatile play. The ground level activities are diverse, with talking tubes and a sand corner, inviting all to play.

Play value is the value gained from play, the value that makes the child 'want' or developmentally 'need' to undertake the activity and thus gives the play item holding power. Play value can be described very precisely in developmental terms, looking into the human physical, cognitive, social and emotional developmental stages.

The Curved ELEMENTS panels are moulded of UV stabilised recyclable PE with multiple options for in-build play features that also ensures a strong panel solution. Straight panels are made of KOMPAN 19mm PE EcoCore™ which is a highly durable, eco-friendly and recyclable material.
The climbing elements displayed are moulded in one piece with a minimum 5mm wall thickness. The climbing elements are made of recyclable PE, which has a high impact resistance across a wide temperature span and is also vandal resistance.
The ELEMENTS roofs are made of recyclable PE with a minimum wall thickness of 5 mm to ensure high durability in all climates around the world. The steel pipes are hot-dip galvanised inside and outside for maximum durability.
The main posts are made of high quality pre-galvanized steel with powder coated top finish. Post tops are closed with caps of UV stabilized nylon (PA6). The grey colored molded decks are made of 75% post-consumer ocean waste PP material with a non-skid pattern and textured surface. All decks are supported by uniquely designed, low-carbon aluminum profiles with multiple attachment options.
ELEMENTS rubber membranes are conveyer belt made of layers of rubber mixed of natural rubber and SBR rubber and embedded with layers of armouring made of woven PE and PA. The thickness 8mm ensures high durability in any environment.
ELEMENTS ropes have six-stranded steel wires and a steel wire core. Each strand is tightly wrapped with PES yarn, which is melted onto each individual strand. After initial friction has removed the surface fibres, a harder PES coating remains to protect each strand, making the ropes highly wear and vandalism resistant.

The overall framework applied for these factors is the Environmental Product Declaration (EPD), which quantifies "environmental information on the life cycle of a product and enables comparisons between products fulfilling the same function" (ISO, 2006). This follows the structure and applies a Life-Cycle Assessment approach to the entire Product stage, from raw material through manufacturing (A1-A3).
