Modern Play for Modern Cities
Modern City® makes a strong visual statement and encourages children to be physically, mentally, and socially active. Architeturally-inspired with square steel uprights that tower up to 16-feet, Modern City looks at home in a city park or a suburban green space.
Signature Style
The X-Frame hub uses cast aluminum shrouds to protect the connection hardware and add a unique climbing activity with multiple routes of travel.
Multi-Tiered Play
Maximizing play value within a provided space is important. Modern City has multiple layers of play: ground-level, mid-level, and upper-level areas so more children can enjoy active play together.
Sensory Rich
We included ground-level play activities to encourage fine and gross motor skill development and to foster scientific and social discovery. Stainless steel, oversized mechanical bolts, mirror balls, mega horns, and more are built into the X-Frame uprights.
High Visibility
The design of Modern City is intended to attract the attention of families. It also creates open sight lines so children and loved ones can see one another and interact during play.
Accessibility
Spinners and climbing discs are at transfer height to create comfortable access. Multiple ground level activities and a transferable slide make Modern City accessible for children of all abilities.
Low Maintenance
Designed with maintenance in mind, the heavy-duty supports, minimal hardware, and hidden connections all make Modern City a durable, low-maintenance product. All cables are single units allowing easy replacement in the event of wear or vandalism.
