Abstract:
A children's play assembly comprising:a play structure having an elevated deck and an inlet above the elevated deck;a wall inclined from the horizontal and fixedly mounted to the elevated deck supported on the play structure;the wall including at least one thermoformed plastic segment having a plurality of step-like ledges, the ledges being arranged in a substantially alternating pattern, the ledges simulating rock and being integrally formed with the thermoformed plastic segment, the plastic segment having portions defining a simulated rock face which extends from ground level to the inlet of the play structure, wherein the simulated rock face narrows substantially as it extends from ground level to the play structure inlet, thereby limiting the number of children who can simultaneously enter the play structure through the inlet, the ledges providing treads for climbing thereon, wherein two ledges at a level alternate with a single ledge at a next higher up level, until the climbing wall narrows sufficiently that only two ledges can fit horizontally, at which point the ledges alternate one to a level.
