Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to a rotatable play device that comprises a central support post, a hub rotatably mounted to an upper end of the central support post, and an arm assembly attached to the hub and comprising a plurality of arms, a seat being suspended from the distal end of each of the plurality of arms. Rotation of the hub about the central support post causes the plurality of seats to rotate around the central support post in a substantially circular rotation path. Each of the seats may also be configured to move up and down by way of a spring assembly or a plurality of springs. Two or more seats may share the up-and-down movement in an alternating manner or each seat may be configured to have an independent up-and-down movement. In addition, each of the seats may optionally be configured to swing in substantial alignment with the circular rotation path and/or to swing outward due to centripetal forces created by the circular rotation path.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a system for lifting one or more persons, such as a person having a mobility restriction, from a first level to a second level, such as onto a raised level of a play structure. In some embodiments, the system may also be configured so that an able-bodied person may enter and exit the platform even while the platform is being raised or lowered. In this way, the system may also comprise a play element by which able-bodied children are provided with a continuous play pathway. In some embodiments, the system is configured so that the platform rotates, thereby providing a fun experience that may be shared by persons having mobility restrictions and able-bodied persons.

Abstract: An angled rotating play device is provided as a cantileveredly merry-go-round supported above the ground from below. A foot platform provides a location for one or more riders feet along a first rotation axis and is angled at an acute angle relative to a vertical axis. The vertical axis may also provide a second rotation axis. At least one of a plurality of supports connect to at least one hand hold above the foot platform whereby the hand hold and/or covers over the hand hold provide a maximum elevation of the device and may help users to shift their weight to self drive the device from the device.

Abstract: A panel installation provides a panel spaced between first and second uprights. The panel has first and second wings having wing wall portions preferably contacting the uprights above spaced side wall portions spaced from the uprights. Cutouts in the wings allow for insertion of a connector through the wings into threaded bores in the uprights. A deck between the uprights can receive connector(s) for connecting a lower portion of the panel to the deck.

Abstract: A playground play feature is provides, the feature comprises a track having a glide board thereon, such that a user may run and jump onto the glide board and propel the board along the length of the track. The glide board, in a preferred embodiment, comprises a rubber, or similar material, covered board having wheels, the wheels designed to fit within means, such as angled side rails, so that the glide board is held onto the track along the entire length of the track. The track further comprises shock absorbing end caps so as to more controllably stop the glide board as it nears the end of the track.

Abstract: The present invention is a recreation deck. The recreation deck has a plurality of posts which support a platform. The supported platform defines a center, and has a load-bearing member independent of the posts. The load bearing member connects to and supports the platform at the center.
