Playground Equipment Parallel Training Bars



The Playground Equipment Parallel Training Bars give children ages 5-12 a pair of side-by-side bars for dips, leg lifts, supported walking, and other bodyweight exercises. It is a simple piece that supports a wide range of movements, making it one of the more versatile stations in a fitness circuit. Holds 2-4 kids, with a 42" fall height and use zone of 16' x 24' 1". Meets ASTM F1487 and CPSC #325 safety standards.

BEST FOR: I'd recommend the Parallel Training Bars for any fitness circuit or PE program. The range of exercises kids can do on parallel bars -- dips, walks, leg raises, balance drills -- makes this one of the best value pieces in the lineup. Low fall height keeps surfacing manageable.

What Makes the Playground Equipment Parallel Training Bars Stand Out?

Parallel bars are one of those pieces that punch above their weight in terms of exercise variety. Kids can do dips for arm strength, leg lifts for core work, supported walks for balance and coordination, or just hang and swing. I have seen PE teachers run entire stations around just this one piece. The 42" fall height keeps it accessible, and the long 24' use zone means several kids can work different spots along the bars at the same time.

Construction is powder-coated steel with rubberized grip surfaces on the bars. It holds up through years of outdoor use without showing much wear. This is one of the first pieces I suggest when a school or park tells me they want to build a fitness area on a budget -- it covers the most ground for the money.
