Ropes Courses

Dynamo custom designed ropes courses are innovative creations of free-form, multi-plane net climbers that have limitless possibilities for hours of amusement. Unlike traditional playgrounds with linear play movement, Dynamo keeps everyone entertained with nets that twist, turn, rise and fall in complex connected paths.

Frame Nets

Dynamo’s frame nets are the perfect complement to any playground design. Built on heavy gauge steel frames using Dynamo unique rope construction; these play games are the ideal place to practice balance and coordination while battling intergalactic aliens or climbing the walls of a grand canyon. Like everything Dynamo builds, these structures will allow generations of adventurers to complete their quests.

Mast Nets

The sky really is the limit! It doesn’t matter if the children are superheroes, spaceship crews or mountain climbers, Dynamo�s ultra-modern Net Climbers continue to revolutionize the look of playscapes worldwide.

From the Super Mini to the Courtyard, Dynamo has a host of Net Climbers suited to every imagination.

Rotating Climbers

Take the world’s most imaginative play structures and make them even better! This sounds like a tall order, but Dynamo’s designers and engineers never shy away from a challenge. The result is a way to make whimsical rotating climbers spin safely in complete 360˚ circles.

An incredible bearing system that allows the deck to rotate but controls the speed at the same time ensures the complete safety of the structure. Elements are designed to provide equal enjoyment for users of all ages or abilities.

Biggo Swings

Our fully accessible Biggo Swing can be used by up to four children of any age at a time! All sharing the wonderful sensation of safely soaring through the air in our unique parabolic arc. The dish-like swing conjures up shared images of soaring space ships or flying carpets, all while helping children of all abilities develop their balance, equilibrium, and social interaction.

Nature Play

Challenging climbing trees where mystical creatures nest, or a hollowed out redwood tunnel, is the fuel for fantasy that makes childhood play so magical. Dynamo’s Nature Play is a safe series of strong, natural, long-lasting playground structures made of GFRC that use the beauty of nature to inspire children to climb and explore. Our Nature Play series is perfect for younger and intermediate climbers to hone their skills.

Dynamo Playgrounds FAQs

What is Dynamo's Design Process?

Our methodology is simple: we work with our clients from the conception of a project to its completion and beyond.

We start the process by evaluating the proposed site and giving recommendations to the city officials or landscape architects on what types of equipment are best suited for their needs and space, as well as listen to what our clients had envisioned for the space.

Our business development team and designers then work hand in hand with the designated landscape architects or park planners to come up with a viable design that everyone is pleased with.

Is Dynamo Playground Equipment ADA Acessible?

Absolutely! Part of the reason Dynamo Playgrounds was born was to provide accessible playground equipment for children of all ages. Not only does our equipment provide steady, transferable surfaces for users with reduced mobility, but it also offers lots of fun for children with developmental disabilities, auditory sensitivity, sensory needs and social anxiety.

What Purchasing Programs Can I Use to Purchase Dynamo Equipment?

Dynamo Playgrounds is a member of the following:

  • BuyBoard – Be sure to use proposal #475-15 when placing your order

Make sure to use contract #VQ10301 when placing your order.

What Type of Connectors Does Dynamo Playgrounds Use?

Dynamo’s metal junctions are the magic that enables Dynamo designers to create our ever-growing collection of unrivalled play structures.

The team examined every possible variation of plastic and steel connector, but many used connecting screws and pins that ultimately damaged the ropes in time. This exhaustive search resulted in the creation of the DX system of moulded high-density aluminum. Compressing with 120 tons of force gives them incredible strength and a beautifully smooth finish. This system eliminates any risk of friction at connection points and ensures that the rope’s integrity and longevity are never compromised. Dynamo even created a portable machine press that can be used to repair a structure on site in the rare case of extreme damage.

What Type of Ropes Does Dynamo Playgrounds Use?

Dynamo’s engineers have created the safest, longest lasting, most attractive cabling in the playground industry. Using proprietary technology, they’ve infused the beautiful nylon cable coatings with UV protectants and flame retardant solutions in the extrusion process. They use these vibrant threads to weave a braid around 144 strands of galvanized steel to produce the play structure rope. This unique process keeps the ropes beautiful to see, soft to touch and stronger than any other cabling available.

The vibrant colours will immediately appeal to children of all ages, but the ropes will also feel just as good to the touch. A class 8 UV Colourfastness rating keeps the ropes looking new and the special nylon formula and unique weaving of threads means that Dynamo Ropes are resistant to fading, wearing and fraying for years.
