Abstract: In one embodiment, a playground assembly includes a beam having a first end, a second end opposite the first end, and a longitudinal axis that extends between the first end and the second end such that the beam is elongate along the longitudinal axis. The beam defines a length measured between the first end and the second end along the longitudinal axis, and a width measured in a direction perpendicular to the length, wherein the length is at least five times greater than the width and the beam is at a height above a ground level. The playground assembly also includes at least one flexible strip extending between the beam and the ground level.

Abstract: An anti-wrap swing assembly includes a swing hanger having an elongate body that extends longitudinally along an axis and defines a channel. The swing hanger further includes a pair of lugs that extend from the elongate body transverse to the axis and are spaced apart from each other by a predetermined distance, each lug defining a bore. The assembly also includes a swing flexibly coupled to the swing hanger. Additionally, the assembly includes a frame having a top rail with a substantially tubular body that is partially disposed within the channel of the swing hanger and a pair of rivets coupled to the substantially tubular body. The frame also includes at least a pair of legs extending from the top rail transverse to the axis and configured to support the top rail.

Abstract: An information and management system configured to obtain and provide information about a playground installation may include a readable tag located on or near a playground installation. In response to reading the tag, a user interface of a mobile device may display information such as an identifying description that is specific to the playground installation, a check-in feature enabling a user to notify others of his or her location at the playground installation, instructions for how to use at least one aspect of the playground installation, and a parts list of at least some of the components of the playground installation. The system may further provide a claiming function configured to allow a user to identify a sales order associated with the readable tag with a second user interface, the second user interface configured to further manage the playground installation.
