Tunnels are fun for all ages! It’s fun to crawl, walk and run through and gives children the opportunity to practice their motor planning skills while moving through the tunnel. This helps a child develop core strength and body coordination skills. The tunnel is rough on the outside and smooth on the inside, providing contrasting sensory experiences. Children can use the tunnel for playing with another child or use it as a quiet space to reflect. Children can also climb the outside of the tunnel – providing more strength and motor planning opportunities.

Spiral log benches are a great addition to any park or playground. Not only will children use them for play, they are a great resting and gathering places for adults too. A tree can be planted in the middle of the spiral bench to provide shade and add beauty.
Please note that these benches weigh approximately 2000lbs, and ship pre-assembled. This makes them great for a permanent installation.
