The Queensboro offers a wide variety of play activities including climbing and sliding plus other challenging physical activities, such as overhead ladders, balance beams and bars in different heights for agility training. The platform has egresses via banister bars, a slide, and a fireman's pole. These are challenging activities stimulating children's courage and self-esteem. The entrances include a wide stairway and a climbing wall with a fast and more challenging side. The variety of activities ensure play for everyone. Apart from being great fun, climbing, sliding, and crossing the monkey bars or balance beam trains children's muscles as well as their motor skills such as cross-body coordination and balance.
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.
develops children's upper body muscles and arm strength, cross coordination and spatial awareness. This is especially important due to sedentary lifestyles and back-pain in children.
chill and socialize on top of the overhead ladder, training cooperation.

meeting, pushing friends gently back and forth, turn-taking.
coordination is supported when going down, as well as arm and core muscles. Landing strengthens bone density, which is built for life in early childhood.
turn-taking and risk-taking.
develops children's cross coordination, eye-hand coordination, and muscle strength when climbing.
two-sided climb invites cooperation.
sliding develops spatial awareness and a sense of balance. Furthermore, the core muscles are trained when sitting upright going down.
empathy stimulated by turn-taking.
encourages communication and social interaction.
evokes curiosity and stimulates an understanding of cause and effect and object permanence: objects and people still exist when out of sight.

This product, Queensboro Play & Agility Tower (PCX2102), is provided by KOMPAN United States.
All steel components are made of high quality materials. The posts have an alloy with improved tensile and yield strength according to the NYCP material specification. The painted aluminum post caps are riveted to the top of the post.
All panels and one-piece welded steel grids are made of low carbon steel and corrosion treated by hot dip galvanization or metallization with a minimum thickness according to NYCP material specification.
All decks are made of perforated low carbon steel plates supported by aluminum profiles with no unsupported area larger than four square feet. After metallization the decks are coated with a polyurea non-slip surface which provides extremely good wear and tear resistance.
The stainless steel activities are made of high quality stainless steel. The steel is glass blasted after manufacturing to ensure a smooth gliding surface.
The steel surfaces are hot dip galvanized inside and outside with lead free zinc. The galvanization has excellent corrosion resistance in outside environments and requires low maintenance.
The products are designed in three different standard color combinations: Red and light blue, Light blue and lime green, Green and lime green. The layouts of the play structures can be customized through the KOMPAN Variant Team.
Our product and sustainability data validation help customers make informed sustainable buying choices based on methods validated by Bureau Veritas.

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).
