The Log Jam play system allows designers to specify a natural play structure just as easily as a traditional one. Nature’s Instruments provides AutoCAD Blocks and installation details for the Log Jam play system and all of their natural playground components, free of charge! The Log Jam play system can be installed anywhere and fits any budget. Customize this play structure with different games to create new experiences and challenges to fit the needs of your clients.
Contact us for custom configurations of 2+ Log Jam components.
Install the Log Jam play system anywhere! Designed for use in parks, rooftops, forests or trails, each Log Jam® pod comes from our studio pre-built and mounted on a 4’x8’ treated steel ground frame. Installation is simple and flexible. Rooftop installations are now possible with our interlocking ground frame system and less than 80 lb./sq. ft. load. Sensitive forest floor or play-trail applications are a breeze, requiring only four helical piles per pod.
Fit any budget! You have the flexibility to add more variety over time. Where budgets are tight, parks can purchase a pair of Log Jam pods and a game with the option to add pods and games in subsequent years, or as budget allows.
The Log Jam Play System is fully compliant with American, Canadian and European playground safety standards including CAN/CSA Z614-14, ASTM F1487-11, and EN 1176.
Contact us to discuss the different options available. We have Triple and Quadruple Log Jam configurations along with different game options and discounted pricing when more the two log jams are purchased.

We have done a ton of field testing on this one to bring you the perfect combination of durability, ergonomics and pedagogy. Mud kitchens provide sensory rich activities that children crave while promoting creativity, role-playing, collaboration, motor skills, and communication. Our mud kitchen allows for intense sensory input with the sink at one end while the long countertop provides more creative and dramatic opportunities. This purposely does not look like a kitchen appliance. The open counter allows them to look at each other and develop social skills while they play. One day it is a mud kitchen, the next a chemist station or even a planting post. Built with a heavy duty stainless steel sink and stopper, an ergonomically designed shelf, and durable kiln dried cedar countertop, this moveable piece will endure hours of sensory rich play.
Make sure you let us know the age of the children playing with it so we can build it to exactly the correct ergonomic height for your kids. Accessories not included.
