Modular Mounds and Embankments Slides
One of the hottest trends in playgrounds today is using the slope of an embankment, or a standalone mound, to supercharge the play potential.

- How to add an ADA transfer platform to a hill.
- How to add multiple ways to climb up as well as slide down.
This is where UPC Parks new Simple Set Slides and Playtrails come in. Mix and match these components to create a perfect play experience for your project. Or, use one of the Modular Mounds to simplify both the design, specifications, and installation!
