Not that long ago, tweens, let alone teenagers, viewed a playground as a place for their younger siblings rather than for their own enjoyment – and with good reason. It wasn’t that there was just a gap in the market, there was a crying cultural need. No one really offered fun and excitement for teens and tweens, they were, too often, left to their own devices.

To satisfy the need required a rethink, not a remodelling of well-trodden play techniques. The GALAXY™ looks like nothing that preceded it. It was a game changer, a free play structure offering built-in activities that are responsive and dynamic, and the first to give play access to everyone regardless of ability.
