Adventurous play with the aerial runway



Parallel aerial runways at Wallace Park, Lisburn



The aerial runway consistently tops children’s wishlists for new playground equipment –and it’s not hard to see why!

An exhilarating thrill ride in your local playground, the aerial runway is a scaled-down version of the daring zip wires seen at some of the top outdoor leisure facilities and adventure parks across the country.  It offers a new dynamic moving element to any playground and is never without a queue of adventurous children waiting for their turn!

When we completed our largest site to date, at Lisburn’s Wallace Park last year, the aerial runway was such a popular choice that we installed two runways, side by side, so eager children could race against their friends.

At Playdale, we have two aerial runways available; one in laminated timber and another in stainless steel – the latter was launched especially to deal with the demand for this popular product and offers customers who prefer our city range an urban alternative to our traditional timber runway.  Our runways are also available in a range of 10 lengths, so those with limited space can take advantage of the shorter lengths, while larger sites looking for the ultimate thrill can install the 40m runway.

Along with the obvious fun factor, the aerial runway offers some great benefits to children too – teaching them about weight and gravity (as they learn the best way to launch themselves from the platform, and how to maintain speed), while also offering an element of risk-taking for younger children (we recommend aerial runways primarily for the 6-12 years age group).
