The Psagot Playgrounds 4 Balloons won the Good Design Award, and after selling it for a while I understand why — four balloon-shaped towers connected by suspended bridges and climbing nets create a structure that works as both a playground and a visual landmark. Kids move between towers through multiple routes at different heights, finding hidden passages and tunnels along the way. Straight and spiral slides descend from elevated platforms. It holds 166 children at once across a 114-foot span. ASTM F1487 and IPEMA certified, built from galvanized steel, climbing nets, and HDPE panels.
BEST FOR: This is a flagship structure for large municipal parks and destination playgrounds. At 166 kids across 114 feet, the 4 Balloons needs a big site and a budget to match, but it gives you something that will define your park for decades. The Good Design Award helps with stakeholder buy-in if you are going through a public approval process. I recommend it for regional parks, large community developments, and resort properties where the playground needs to be a destination in itself.
The 4 Balloons earned the Good Design Award because it treats a playground as a designed object, not just an assembly of components. The four balloon towers create a sculptural profile that reads from a distance, and up close, each tower offers a different play experience connected to the others through suspended bridges, climbing nets, and hidden passages. Kids can spend an hour exploring and still find routes they have not tried.
At 166 kids across 114 feet, the structure distributes children naturally — four separate towers mean no single point gets overcrowded. The galvanized steel frame handles the structural demands, climbing nets provide flexible, dynamic climbing routes, and HDPE panels add color and durability. I have found that the discovery elements — hidden passages and tunnels — are what bring kids back repeatedly. It is not just a climb-and-slide structure. It is an exploration system.
