Skywalk Enclosed Playground Towers
High-visibility mesh enclosure add-ons designed to integrate with Commercial Post and Deck Playground Systems (Round-5), helping you build taller play while targeting very low fall heights.
Visibility through steel mesh
Build up to 20 ft high while targeting 7–8 ft fall heights (layout dependent)
Big play on a smaller footprint
- High visibility supervision
- See-through mesh helps keep elevated play visible from multiple angles.
- Low fall height potential
- Enclosed routes can help you design tall play while targeting lower fall heights than typical open structures.
- More play in less space
- Build up instead of out to add capacity and excitement without expanding the footprint.
Skywalk is a modular enclosure system that uses steel mesh to wrap towers and elevated connections. It creates defined, enclosed routes so kids move through the structure the way it was designed, while supervisors can still see what’s happening inside.
By enclosing key areas and limiting “unplanned” access points, Skywalk supports designs that feel tall and dramatic while still aiming for low fall-height targets, depending on the final configuration. It is built to integrate into Round-5 post-and-deck playground layouts, whether you’re upgrading one tower or building a multi-tower centerpiece.
- Mesh walls that enclose elevated play areas
- Mesh caps that discourage climbing up and out
- Enclosed Skywalk bridge that connects towers and creates a new travel path
- Transition panels and access control components for elevated routes
- Designed to integrate with Round-5 post and deck systems
- Add destination-style tall slides to enclosed tower designs
- Enclosed routes help guide kids to the slide entry
- Big visual impact without needing a massive footprint
A fit for schools and parks
- Schools
- Helps keep sight lines open for supervision. Adds vertical play value on limited budgets and tight yards. Low fall height can help manage surfacing scope.
- Parks
- Tall towers and dramatic elevated routes. Compact footprint solutions for urban sites. Creates destination play that feels big and exciting.
Accessibility and safety considerations
- Supports ADA-compliant designs
- Designed with CPSC guidance in mind
Frequent Questions
-
What is Skywalk?
Skywalk is a set of steel mesh enclosure components used to enclose towers, bridges, and elevated routes on playground structures.
-
How does it integrate with Round-5 post and deck systems?
It is designed to be incorporated into Round-5 post-and-deck layouts, including towers and connections between structures.
-
How does Skywalk improve visibility?
The mesh enclosure keeps elevated areas visually open, which helps reduce blind spots that can happen in taller towers and connected routes.
-
What does "fall height" mean?
Fall height is the maximum distance a user could fall from an accessible play surface. It helps determine surfacing needs and overall safety planning.
-
How can a tall structure have a lower fall height?
Overall height and fall height are different measurements. When access and movement are controlled through enclosed routes, designs can be configured to target lower fall heights than typical open towers of similar overall height (layout dependent).
-
Does Skywalk prevent outside climbing?
Skywalk is designed to discourage exterior climbing by enclosing elevated areas and limiting access points, but outcomes still depend on the complete layout and site conditions.
-
What age groups is it for?
Skywalk can be used in many designs. It commonly fits within 5–12 layouts, but the age range depends on the activities and overall configuration.
-
What maintenance does the mesh require?
The mesh is intended to be low upkeep. Typical care involves routine inspection and occasional cleaning as needed, similar to other durable playground components.
