Why is Zipline Playground Equipment so much fun? 

Commercial ziplines are a great addition to any playground, and children will love the whole experience - as with any freestanding unit, zipline playground equipment can complete your play area. A ride on a playground zipline takes the standard swing experience to the next level. Anticipating the ride from the freestanding zipline platform, getting handed over the seat and experiencing the thrilling stomach-tickling feeling as you leave the platform and go free flying down the zipline: What a fantastic feeling!  

A sense of achievement enhances the entire experience as this playful leap of faith for many children is a first experience in overcoming an obstacle, thus boosting self-confidence. That's why children will go back to a zipline ride repeatedly. 

The Benefits of Outdoor Playground Ziplines

The reason for this immense magnetic pull of the playground zipline lies mainly in the exhilarating thrill of gliding through the air. The speed, the feeling of weightlessness and floating through the air, is imperative in training spatial awareness and the child's understanding of gravity, space, and speed. This is necessary, e.g. in managing traffic safely. The social skills get trained as children diligently hand back the seat to the following user in line—the running and pulling train the child's cardio and upper body muscles.
