Deck Linkage
Linking UPC Parks ground-based play sculptures to more traditional Post & Deck is a natural combination. Post & Deck is mostly composed of climb-up slide-down play patterns. UPC Parks ground-based play is mostly running, jumping, and climbing. These two types of play complement each other, and enormously expand the play opportunities when they are designed together.
Pinion Point (SMALL)
Ages 2-12 | 24′ x 40′
The Pinion Point is a great way to get the play and exercise experience of Rocks & Ropes while staying on budget. Climb onto the Bison Rock off of the 4’ deck.
There is a nice flat area to step, and a place to grab for balance. Then climb down either side and start across the Hop Rocks. The Gecko Rock is a low rock bridge, great for imagining you’re crossing a creek! Balance across the Ground Log, and then one more hop and you’re back on the Deck!

Common Crossing (MEDIUM)
Ages 5-12 | 34′ x 40′
The Common Crossing adds the challenge of the two rope bridge. Climb from the 4’ deck onto the Rhino Rock. Once again, you have a ledge to step onto and a taller rock formation to grab for balance. Traverse across the two rope bridge – harder than you think, especially if your friends are on at the same time! Then it’s onto the Stump Rock, the Angle Log, Gecko Rock, and a final Hop Rock to the Forked Log back up to the 2’ Deck.

Colossus Causeway (LARGE)
Ages 5-12 | 44′ x 49′
The Colossus Causeway is for older children, and provides significantly more challenge. Climb from the 5’ Deck onto the ledge on the Lookout Rock. You then have a choice of climbing through the cave that reaches down to the ground, or climbing across the Burmese Tiger Net. This can take you to the challenging Peekaboo Climber, or take the easier route to the Fishtail Rock, which anchors the net just above the surface of the playground. From here, it’s just a hop, skip and jump across the Hop Rock, Gecko Rock, and Forked Log and you’re back onto the Deck!
