The 8-foot Zigzag Balance Beam adds a unique twist to the traditional balance beam. While classic balance beams are straight, this unit features two obtuse turns to create a simple challenge for kids as they trek along. Whether they walk across like a trapeze artist, pretend they are a pirate walking the plank, or simply speed walk to the other side, children will have fun as they work on their balance, coordination, and agility all at once. Additionally, the simple design allows it to be seamlessly added to any playground. It can work as a stand-alone unit or it can be used as a transition piece. Place it at the beginning of another play structure as a fun warm up exercise, in the middle as a connector, or at the end as a quick and easy cooldown. The balance beam can be combined with other equipment to create a fun obstacle course for kids!
