We are excited to announce that we have picked up a new line of rope climbing equipment! Our new line, NetPlay, offers rope soft enough for little hands, while offering extreme durability. Products such as rope bridges, climbing ropes, and other rope
netting products that can be integrated into our equipment. Not only are
we pleased to offer a fresh and new product offering, we also think it is
important to note that rope play is important to a child’s development and
helps with inclusive play. Inclusive play is when the bridge between children
with special needs and mainstream children is closed, therefore making it easy
for them to play together on the same equipment.

One of the most important things rope play
equipment offers is a little something for everyone, allowing children of varying
abilities to enjoy it. Rope play certainly closes the gap between mainstream and
disabled children, enhancing both mental and physical development in children
of all abilities.

During rope play
children must focus and use a greater degree of self-control while climbing, instinctively reacting to each movement while they make decisions about which rope to grab next. They must do all of these things while
also challenging their own motor skills.

Rope play for children
with disabilities can
offer a simple challenge for them to climb to a spot where they are
comfortable, and feel the movement of the rope as other children climb around
them. This situation makes it possible for disabled children to feel included
with the other children.

Along with the benefits of rope play mentioned above, there
are many other benefits, some of them including:

• Increased balance and coordination
• Muscle development
• Cognitive
  problem solving

If your neighborhood, city, or school is
interested in incorporating rope play into a playground, contact Noah’s Park and Playgrounds. We can also help with the design of a new playground, taking you from
start to finish with the help of our bid proposals, many purchase options, installation, and financing. We are even happy to lend a helping hand with
fundraising!
