The present disclosure is directed to climbing units that provide an enhanced play experience through the incorporation of any of a variety of elements including nets, suspended portions, and coupling elements, and to playground structures that contain those climbing units. In some embodiments, the climber unit may comprise one or more rigid portions and one or more net-containing portions connected end-to-end to produce a continuous climbing pathway. In other embodiments, the climber unit may comprise one or more rigid portions and one or more suspended portions connected end-to-end to produce a continuous climbing pathway. The suspended portion may be attached to adjacent rigid portions by flexible couplers, such that the suspended portion will move when a child climbs through it. In other embodiments, the climber unit may be mounted to an elevated playground structure such that there are no footers connecting the climber unit to the ground.

A versatile exercise apparatus includes a central foundation frame and two arched bars. The frame comprises two generally parallel lateral cross bars, two generally parallel longitudinal bars, and two partial circular bars attached to four 4-way joints. The two arched bars are also attached at the four 4-way joints and extend perpendicularly from the frame. In some aspects of the invention, the frame elements and two arched bars are attachable and detachable, allowing the formation of two modules. In this aspect the modules may be attached in corresponding or opposing orientations. This permits manual modification of the exercise device, thereby increasing the number of exercises, balance techniques, and stretches that can be performed with the exercise apparatus.

A playground apparatus comprises a frame adapted to rest on a ground surface, the frame comprising a pair of laterally opposed outermost sides having first ends arranged towards an outermost end of the frame and second ends opposed to the first ends, wherein the outermost sides taper inwardly towards the first ends. Monkey bars are supported by the frame above the ground surface that comprise a plurality of graspable rungs arranged in a row. The playground apparatus also comprises a pair of upright support poles, wherein uppermost sections of the upright support poles are connected to the frame towards the first ends such that the uppermost sections are laterally inwardly disposed relative to the second ends. Lowermost ends of the upright support poles extend outwardly away from one another and towards the outermost end to increase a surface area of the ground surface engaged by the upright support poles.

An exercise device, having a pair of supports that rest upon a ground surface and a bridge that extends between the supports and is elevated above the ground surface. The supports each include an upper support that includes an upper tube and a lower support that includes a central post that together telescope so as to adjust the height of the bridge. Handgrips are selectively attachable to the bridge for allowing the user to perform various exercises. The lower supports are each T-shaped, including a base member and each have a pair of lateral supports that are deployable to stabilize the base members from side movement. The upper tubes and bridge are connected with folding joints, and one of the supports includes an offset portion to facilitate selectively bending the supports upwardly against the bridge for compact storage of the device.
