LuckyDog Recreation unleashes “New-Fangled” playground equipment in Idaho. With construction completed the unveiling took place in Meridian, Idaho at the new Coleman Homes Community, Bellano Creek.

Ashton, ID -- (SBWire) -- 05/08/2014 --Rope-based playground equipment is the new buzzword in the world of children’s play. LuckyDog Recreation, a locally based playground construction company, is blowing the market open in Idaho for this “new-fangled” style of equipment.

“The next wave of exciting playground equipment is rope-based playgrounds,” states Nicole Stoddard of LuckyDog Recreation. “The reason they are ‘so hot’ is that they engage children ‘of all ages,’ including grown-ups, in dynamic community play."

"Unlike traditional playgrounds that tend to ‘segregate’ able-bodied activities from activities intended for people with limited abilities, rope-based playgrounds are designed to be universally inclusive. Everyone can have fun at the same time on the same toy,” continues Stoddard.

On April 30th, LuckyDog Recreation unveiled the second rope-based playground game in the Treasure Valley, the Astro Spinning Net Climber, at Bellano Creek, a Coleman Homes’ property and third community in Meridian, ID, located North of the intersection of Ten Mile Road and Ustick Road.

Landscape architects and park and playground planners attended the unveiling of the rope-based playground and met with equipment experts from LuckyDog Recreation and special guest, Rob Lockhart, engineer and rope-based playground expert from Dynamo Industries. Lockhart and Dynamo are pioneering the resurgence of this unique form of play equipment world-wide.

Rob Lockhart of Dynamo Playgrounds
Lockhart has worked with Dynamo for more than a decade taking their innovative products to new heights, including the new Quad Pods double-spinning climber, and the new World’s Tallest Pyramid Net, which stands 50 feet tall. As a leader in the commercial playground industry, Dynamo is an active participant in the IPEMA program ensuring safe play for all children.

Lockhart sits on both the IPEMA Equipment Certification Committee as well as the ASTM Subcommittee on Playgrounds for Public Use, as well as being an advisor to the CSA Technical Committee in Children’s Play-spaces & Equipment.

Lockhart is knowledgeable about every aspect of the design and construction of rope-based playground equipment, as well as the world’s major safety standards. He is a great resource for anyone looking to better understand all of the possibilities of this non-traditional way of play.
