Trim trails are the ideal piece of children’s outdoor equipment
That helps them have fun at playtime, increase their hand-eye coordination and stay fit too. The trim trails can be configured in a myriad of different ways to help with smaller or oddly-shaped playgrounds, and can be adjusted and tweaked so they offer different routes and trim trails.
The idea of trim trails
is that they have a series of tasks or pieces of equipment to climb over, under and through, step on, walk around and swing from start to finish. They might include such parts as a swinging log step, overhead ladder, a burma bridge and a wibbly wobbly pole. The step logs are actually used in Japan and China to increase the balance, spatial awareness and control over their bodies and are popular with martial artists. The overhead bars, or ‘monkey bars’, are a great way to increase strength and coordination, as well as giving the trim trail an added feature.
All of those efforts combined increase the awareness and skill of the child in determining the best route through complex and complicated apparatus. The trim trails can be curved around in a semi-circle or used where there are odd-shaped gardens and playgrounds. They should be placed on safety surfaces or grass, as the aspects of the trim trails can be tricky to master, so it’s important to keep them safe from injury.
Trim trails range from anywhere between
15-50 metres in length and can offer a great time for breaks and physical education. Children will no doubt love to play on them and running the course completely without touching the floor is something that they will challenge each other with and see which one can reach the end in the fastest time. Made from sturdy wooden poles and beams, they not only look great but they are durable, affordable and require almost no maintenance. They will outlast many years of abuse from kids of all ages, too.
For older children, there is the option of traverse walls, swinging beams and zig-zag balance beams, to really test their ability of coordination and skill. No matter what size space is on offer, there will be a good configuration of trim trail that can be used, which will give the kids something to do and something to talk about. Encouraging physical activity from a young age will help them grow into strong, supple and energetic adults, so it’s good for their development of not only the minds but their bodies also.
