About Rope and Balance Courses

Low, exciting challenges close to the ground

Low rope and balance courses keep the thrill and lose the height. Kids practice balance, coordination and confidence in a series of stepping, walking and crawling challenges.

We build courses with sturdy posts, quality rope and nets and cushioned surfacing, and we keep every feature at a sensible height.
