Overhead Events
Overhead events for playgrounds, like monkey bars, typically consist of a horizontally mounted overhead ladder that children can grip, hang or swing from and travel from one side to another. They have been a fundamental fixture on playgrounds for years and a child’s favorite playground activity.
Benefits of Overhead Play Events
When children experience overhead events, they are stimulating the tactile, proprioception, vestibular and visual senses. Each system learns about textures, the muscle activation needed to pull against gravity, and integrates with what the child sees while climbing. Climbing also increases arm muscle strength, grip strength, hand/eye coordination and body control.
Adding Overhead Play Events to Your Playground
