Playground Equipment Cottonwood



Playground Equipment Cottonwood is a high-capacity commercial play structure for ages 5-12 that handles 62-75 kids at once. It's a fully loaded layout with enough activity stations to keep a large group of school-age kids spread across the structure instead of crowded at one feature. Fall height is 84" and the use zone is 39' 5" x 43' 5". Meets ASTM F1487 and CPSC #325 safety standards. When you need a structure that can absorb an entire recess period without kids getting bored or bunching up, the Cottonwood delivers.

BEST FOR: I'd recommend the Cottonwood for elementary schools and large parks where the playground regularly sees 60+ kids at the same time. The high capacity means fewer kids standing around and more kids actively playing. The 39-by-43-foot use zone is large but not unreasonable for a structure serving this many children. If your current equipment is overcrowded during peak times, this is the kind of upgrade that solves that problem.

What Makes the Playground Equipment Cottonwood Stand Out?

The Playground Equipment Cottonwood is built for schools and parks that deal with real crowd sizes. At 62-75 kid capacity, it handles the kind of numbers you see during a full elementary school recess. The layout distributes activity stations across the structure so kids naturally spread out instead of all converging on one spot. That's not just better for play -- it's easier to supervise. For the 5-12 age range, the variety of climbing, sliding, and interactive elements means there's something for the cautious first-grader and the adventurous fifth-grader.

The use zone is about 39.5 by 43.5 feet, and the 84" fall height requires surfacing rated for a 7-foot fall. If you're replacing aging equipment at a school, the Cottonwood is the kind of structure that handles today's enrollment numbers without needing a second unit.
