jungle gyms

Recess climbing frames

Jungle gyms are outdoor climbing structures for children, typically made of metal bars or ropes arranged in geometric patterns.

The name evokes clambering through tangled vegetation.

Traditional designs feature interconnected bars forming a dome or cube; modern versions incorporate slides, platforms, and rope elements.
