The Parkour 4 is a hugely appealing play piece. Exactly what 5-12 year olds want: a trim trail that's fun. The variation in climbing, crawling and balancing activities will make children come back again and again. The many inclined, twisted and vertical nets and the different mesh directions make great play challenges. Climbing or crawling up, down and through the big meshes greatly stimulates coordination and proprioception. Both are skills necessary to navigate the world confidently and to achieve physical confidence. The lovely rubber seating points and the inclined beams are great for meeting and exchanging. Their bouncy or inclined character make them a constant balance and muscle trainer, even when seated. When climbing through the Parkour 4 children train their cooperation and turn-taking skills. These skills are difficult to teach, but they are easily learned in 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 inclined net supports the upward climbing movement of the body. The net supports cross-body coordination, which impacts coordination of the right and left part of brain, fundamental for other skills such as the ability to read. The asymmetry of the net challenges the children's climbing.
the top rope adds support when balancing on the beam. This develops dexterity, hand and arm muscles.
the small knots add support for hands and feet when climbing in the ropes. This supports spatial awareness, cross coordination and all muscle groups.
