Alicia from SportsPlay is an adventure-packed commercial playground structure designed to challenge and engage children ages 5–12. Featuring 11 total play events—including 10 elevated activities and one ground-level event—Alicia combines climbing, sliding, movement, interactive play, and social experiences into one dynamic playground system.
Children can test their strength and coordination on the chain net climber and corkscrew climber. These two climbing experiences require different movements and approaches, encouraging children to grip, reach, step, pull, and coordinate their bodies as they work their way onto the structure.
The zig-zag loop adds another physical challenge, helping create variety as children move through the playground. With multiple routes and activities available, children can make choices about how they want to navigate the equipment rather than following the same path each time.
Sliding is a major part of Alicia's appeal. Children can choose from a double slide, curved sectional slide, and bump slide, providing three distinct experiences that encourage repeat play. The variety also helps distribute children throughout the structure during busy playground periods.
A tic-tac-toe transfer station expands the experience beyond gross motor play. Children can challenge friends to a game while practicing turn-taking, problem-solving, communication, and social interaction. The transfer station also provides a more accessible route into the elevated play environment.
With a combination of climbing challenges, multiple slides, interactive play, and elevated exploration, Alicia provides the variety needed to keep school-age children engaged while supporting physical, cognitive, and social development.
