Abstract

A playground system has an enclosure that defines a play area and an entry point. A transfer system couples with the entry point of the enclosure.

The modular playground has a plurality of base members arranged within the enclosure, a play unit positioned on each base member, and an securement member engaged with the base member, the play unit, and the enclosure for securement in a customized arrangement.
