Leveling Up the Playground

Venture with us to Quito, Ecuador. The capital city nestled among the Andes Mountains is the second highest of its kind and the closest to the equator. Inspired by its geography, Playworld developed Quito. At a staggering height of 15.54 feet (4.74 meters), this unique three-level climber has room to spare for all the kids in your community.

Level One

The ground-level begins a child’s journey in the climber. The space beneath the center offers shelter for friends plotting their next move, while a bell on the side adds potential to engage with children in the upper two levels. This level’s climbing features include the extended hand ropes opposite of the bell, as well as a climbing ramp with foot and hand holds that offer access to the rest of Quito’s interior. The transferable under seat with a ramp helps include anyone who may not be able to partake in the fun on the upper two levels. Kids will have to hold on tight though — the fun is just getting started.

Level Two

This level of Quito serves as a structural equator. After reaching this level through the access ports, kids can step on varying rope patterns for greater navigational challenges or reach across the hand ropes to securely explore the outer edge. In this unstructured setting, kids can seize the opportunity to forge their own path, building their skills and confidence for the future. Since this level surrounds the core, they’ll have a decision to make — continue their journey upwards, see more of the core or head back down.

Level Three

The final level sits above the core. Perforated steel panels along the top and the triangular core roof at the bottom make this space well-suited for hanging out with friends or making new ones. Kids can finish off their climb to Quito’s summit with a ring of the bell or experience the view through Koda triangle windows. After having put their balance and proprioception to the test on the way up, they’ve earned the chance to celebrate.

The Core

The core is suspended by three 22-millimeter steel core ropes and offers an enclosed space for kids to explore or socialize in. Perforated steel panels along with powder coated panels maintain a cozy atmosphere while allowing for interaction with kids outside the core. Stocked with a bell and Koda triangle windows, this area serves as the perfect hub for activity in Quito.

With each playground, Playworld seeks out new ways for kids to build authentic connections, and leads the industry in innovative, expertly crafted designs. Quito culminates these values by providing every child the chance to engage in meaningful play; whether they stick to the ground or climb their way to the top, any child can partake in the fun while building upon the skills necessary to lead the communities of tomorrow.

THE PEAK OF PLAY

Far up on the Andes Mountains rests Ecuador’s capital, Quito. As the second highest capital in the world and the closest to the equator, this city has one of the most unique geographies of any community. Now, kids can imagine themselves taking on a mountain of their own through Quito, Playworld’s new climber. Like its namesake, Quito prides itself on its soaring height, freestanding at 15.54’ (4,74m) tall. Traveling companions can set up camp on the ground-level cozy space, discover the offerings of the core, or navigate to the summit using differing rope patterns. A bell waits to be rung on each of the three levels of play, while colorful, translucent windows accent the view from the second and third levels. Quito uses its one-of-a-kind design and quality construction to encourage kids to take on new challenges and build genuine bonds across their community.
