England 04/04/2012 - There is a new must have playground item known as the trim trail

A trim trail is a fantastic idea, which is being included in the design of more and more playgrounds. It is basically an exercise course made up of a series of fun obstacles designed to get kids moving and enjoy doing so. The elements in each trim trail vary, so you can design a low impact trail for young children or a high impact trail for older, stronger and more agile kids to enjoy.

These play areas are cropping up all over the country. Including, schools and many public parks. Kids love a challenge and race around these trails getting much needed exercise as they go. They no longer have to go to out of bounds centres to enjoy using this kind of equipment. Those kids who have regular access to this kind of play equipment over time become far fitter and stronger than those kids who only use standard playground equipment. Trim trail playground equipment is there to ensure that children go through a wide range of movements as they complete the trail. They stretch themselves in all directions and learn balance and dexterity as well as improving strength and cardiovascular fitness.

Types of trim trail equipment

Virtually every trim trail includes a tyre trail, which includes tyres laid out as stepping-stones. Other popular pieces of equipment include log weavers, tight rope bridges and traditional stepping-stones. More unusual items, like twist net traverses, inclined balance beams, and parallel rope traverses are also growing in popularity. To complete these mini assault courses many schools and parks add beams, swinging log traverses and rocking log traverses.

One of the biggest suppliers of trim trails is Pentagon Sport. They have been building playgrounds in the UK for over 13 years now, and have always offered new and innovative equipment to their clients. Their trim trail range allows you to build a trail that is designed to meet the needs of a range of age groups. Their equipment is made from 100% re-cycled plastic, which is durable yet environmentally friendly.
