The Double Balance Beam is a great playground classic that attracts children again and again. It can function as a playground centerpiece, helping to connect activities. It can also function as a point for a break, providing seating for children sharing, or parents or caregivers in need of a point from which to observe play. When children balance across the Double Balance Beam, they train their equilibrium immensely. The sense of balance is a fundamental motor skill that is basic for the development of all other skills. The sense of balance for instance makes it possible for children to sit still and concentrate, so the fun of physical play supports this important part of child development. The spaciousness also allows for ample social interaction and cooperative play.
