Half Moon Climber

Blue

$1,206.67

The Half Moon Climber from SportsPlay brings classic climbing play to commercial playgrounds with an eye-catching curved design created for children ages 5–12. Its half-moon shape provides an engaging physical challenge while giving children opportunities to climb, reach, balance, and explore the equipment from different directions.

As children navigate the climber, they coordinate their hands and feet while gripping, stepping, reaching, and shifting their body weight. These movements help support upper- and lower-body strength, balance, coordination, agility, motor planning, spatial awareness, and overall body control.

The open framework also encourages children to create their own challenges rather than following one predetermined route. Multiple children can use the climber together, helping encourage communication, teamwork, friendly challenges, and imaginative group play.

With a relatively compact equipment footprint, the Half Moon Climber is a practical way to add meaningful physical activity to an existing playground or incorporate another climbing experience into a new design. It measures 2' wide by 9.5' long and 6' high and requires a 14' x 21.5' use zone. SportsPlay's current catalog lists the unit at 313 pounds; the Level Up product page currently lists 300 pounds.

Off-loading is the customer’s responsibility. These items are heavy and may require equipment such as a skid-steer loader or forklift, which must be provided by the customer.

Footer Options (Varies by Product)

In-Ground Mounting

This is the most common installation method for playground and shade structures. It involves digging holes and setting the posts directly into concrete that is poured during installation.

Surface Mount (Anchor Bolt)

With this method, posts are secured to an existing solid surface—typically concrete—using specialized base plates and anchor bolt hardware provided with the product.

Ground Spike

This is the simplest mounting option, using a sledgehammer to drive stakes through a footer plate to secure the posts in the desired location. Ground spikes are not recommended for sandy or loamy soil conditions and are only available for select product sets.

FAQs

What are the payment requirements for an order?

Full payment is typically required upfront due to the custom nature of many products. Exceptions can be made for governmental entities through approved purchase orders. All payments must be received prior to the start of installation.

Are installation services available?

Installation services are available for commercial playground projects. A qualified and insured professional can be arranged to handle the setup, and quotes are provided upon request. The goal is to ensure a smooth, safe, and efficient installation process from start to finish.

Is expedited shipping an option for my order?

Expedited shipping is not currently available. Due to the size and nature of playground LTL shipments, most freight carriers are unable to guarantee faster delivery. Unless otherwise noted, all products ship according to the estimated lead times listed on each product page.

How is the estimated lead time calculated?

Estimated lead time refers to the amount of time it typically takes for a product to be prepared and shipped after an order is placed. For many commercial playground items, manufacturing begins only once the order is received. For example, if the lead time is listed as 8 to 10 weeks, that means it will take approximately8 to 10 weeks for the product to be manufactured, packaged, and shipped from the warehouse.
