NU-Edge® Nature-Themed Playground Equipment

The NU-Edge line from Little Tikes Commercial combines the beauty of nature and city life. This line encourages children to embark on thrilling imaginary adventures through wall scaling, zip lining, overhead climbing and more. The equipment features Naturtek™, a patented composite resin material intended to look like natural elements while keeping the playground structures protected from the elements and ready for years of play.

Spending time in nature-themed environments can have calming effects, helping to promote overall well-being and improve mood. Kids can climb into a world of discovery and adventure wherever your playground is.

Nature-Inspired Playground Equipment

Nature-based playgrounds mimic texture, colors and other natural elements while taking some inspiration from urban settings. NU-Edge equipment includes a Log Slice Climber, Tree Stump Climber, Tree Climb, Big Fun Rock and an Arched Log Climber. Natural elements like logs or tree stumps help children invent games, create imaginary worlds and engage in pretend play.

NU-Edge takes cues from nature while also being durable — it lasts longer than natural wood playground equipment.

The modern and urban components of NU-Edge include:

  • Roofs
  • Accents
  • Metal trusses
  • Woven wire panels
  • Metal climbers

We can help you customize your lineup with different color schemes, the option to add or remove playground parts, and the ability to adjust the size of the set to fit your space, working with the environment instead of against it.

The Importance of Nature-Based Play Environments

Nature-based playground equipment offers a variety of benefits, including:

  • Connection with nature: By incorporating natural materials and designs, our playgrounds foster a connection with the natural world — children learn to appreciate and respect nature as they engage with elements like wood and rocks. They also learn about the characteristics of trees.
  • Improved self-confidence: Playing in natural environments boosts self-confidence by giving kids practice managing their own actions and how they interact with the world surrounding them. It also enhances their ability to concentrate and focus.
  • Cognitive development: Playgrounds designed with natural elements like log slice climbers and big fun rocks provide opportunities for cognitive development. These structures often require problem-solving skills, spatial awareness and decision-making, which help sharpen young minds as children navigate and interact with the environment.
  • Physical health: Climbing rocks and logs improves balance, coordination and overall physical fitness. This active play leads to healthier living habits from a young age.
