Zip wire - double robinia 30m
There’s always a queue by the zip wire - and with good reason. It’s a fun ride, and also a little challenging. Will I fall off?
Gliding through the air is great for development It requires good coordination to stay balanced on a zip wire, where you also have to hold on tight so as not to fall down.
The play equipment is known to support motor skills development.
A ride on a zip wire activates the child’s vestibular system as the brain receives information about acceleration and maintaining a horizontal position.
The proprioceptive system helps the brain to interpret information about the position and movement of different parts of the body (the sense of kinesthesia).
When the right muscles are tensed at the right time, balance is maintained and the child doesn’t fall off.
The child practices and learns to become better at coordinating their body and movements. Over time, the child no longer has to think about their bodily functions, and can focus instead on other things, such as exploring their surroundings.
Getting better at physical coordination and taking risks as well as overcoming a fear of gliding is a foundation for mental development.
