INSPIRATIONAL PLAYGROUND CONCEPT

The Stratus Cloud

Children playing on a cloud like rope structure
The Stratus Cloud is designed as a second generation of the original Corocord® spacial nets, re-created and re-innovated with new technology. With three peaks – and almost 29.5ft high – the Stratus Cloud spreads out its climbing landscape, with a space on top for softly bouncing walks and crawls.

Underneath, the Stratus Cloud holds a wide range of dynamic activities, such as three sets of EPDM drops and several super cool fun items such as liana ropes and stepping pods. Best of all, the inside of the Stratus Cloud is literally a whole playground in itself! It’s bouncy and packed with fun activities such as the fantastic swaying and turning drops made of EDPM similar to the discs and available in all custom colors. The interior space can be entered via the tunnels around each support post or through the three access nets.

Loaded with play activities

A child climbing on a rope net

Challenging entrance

The rope climb access adds harder and easier climbs up into the cloud, training cross-coordination and concentration.

Children sitting on top of a rope playground

Hello everybody!

The Talk Tubes engage children who can communicate with others at ground level through the tubes. This adds an element of wonder and stimulates communication and turn-taking.

Children meeting and sitting on a coromesh rope playground

Soft walks and crawls

The softly bouncing coromesh net spurs cautious walks and crawls on the outside and wild climbs on the inside, adding a social and highly physically demanding play journey that trains both motor skills, thinking skills, and muscles.

What a view!

The Outlook hang-outs are great destinations and a bouncy platform to socialize and enjoy.

Swinging on a rope playground

Swaying fun

The Sturdy Drops make for an extremely appealing, swaying break. Sitting, hanging, or leaning on the drop is a calming movement, which adds to a social understanding and gives a feeling of connectedness to other players as the movements of the climbers in the big cloud above are replicated into the drops.

Frequently asked questions

Can I see this playground?

This playground is an inspirational playground designed by KOMPAN Design Studio. The playground has not been built, but is created as a concept meant to inspire you to bring a similar site to life!

Can I make changes to this playground?

Absolutely! Because this playground is an inspirational design concept that hasn't been built, we can make changes to the design and customize to your specific needs.

Are there many play activities on this playground?

Yes! All our KOMPAN Design Studio inspirational playgrounds are loaded with play activities that develop body, mind and friendships.

This is our way of making sure that the children are wowed when they come here to play, are motivated to keep playing and return time and time again, and develop physical, social, cognitive and creative life skills during play.

Is this playground inclusive?

Yes! KOMPAN firmly believes playgrounds should be inclusive and provide play for all. We work with universal design to ensure that children of all abilities can participate and enjoy thrilling play.

Is this playground durable?

Yes! All KOMPAN playgrounds are built to withstand decades of weather and usage.

Our engineers carefully calculate the static strength of each playground structure, and our production uses only the highest quality materials. Fifty years of testing through play around the world has given us extensive knowledge on how to achieve extreme durability. This leads to minimal downtime and a low total cost of ownership. For generations of children, this means endless hours of play.

Is this playground safe and certifiable?

Yes! All KOMPAN inspirational playground equipment is safe and certified - as is every product we have designed for more than 50 years.

Since 1970, KOMPAN has developed outdoor play equipment that stimulates and challenges children, with safety as the paramount consideration. Every part of the design, engineering, production and construction process is geared to ingrain safety into the final products that are certifiable by TÜV.

How can I install a playground like this?

At KOMPAN we turn ideas into reality - all the way from defining the playground concept until the playground is installed.

Building a playground is not child’s play. It is a major construction undertaking. From clearing the area for foundation to finishing the site, it involves heavy equipment, extensive materials, complex products and expert knowledge. All these factors must be precisely coordinated to avoid delays. Our expert teams have done it many times and are happy to take the load off your shoulders!
