The Ranger Commercial Playground Equipment, part of our Flex Series, is a versatile, durable playground designed to bring big-play value without the price tag of metal systems. With tall climbers, easy access points, and imaginative tunnels, the Ranger is an excellent fit for churches, HOAs, daycares, and private schools that want a safe, long-lasting structure without needing ASTM certification.
Designed for Visibility, Easy Access, and Spacious Play
Two critical safety features often overlooked are clear sight lines and easy adult access to the playground. This allows staff or parents to watch the play and intervene when needed. Perhaps beside the tunnel, the Ranger is easy for adults to navigate, allowing staff or volunteers to step in when required and maintain safe, visible play environments.
Besides safety, the towers are generously sized and offer ample headspace, even for older children, ensuring comfort, safety, and inclusive access for all.
Tip: Spacious towers support collaborative play. Tighter spaces can discourage inclusion and limit engagement. The Ranger’s open design ensures kids have room to move, play, and imagine.
Challenging Climbers for Growing Kids
While many playgrounds prioritize safety, they sometimes miss the mark for older kids who crave a physical challenge. The Ranger balances both. It's 7-foot rock wall offers an age-appropriate skill test, with safety rails and a manageable incline to ensure a confident climb. A smaller 5-foot wall is included for younger children to explore independently.
Tip: Want to vary your climbing features? Swap one rock wall for a cargo net to diversify the experience while maintaining the challenge.
Bridges and Tunnels: Seamless Transitions, Endless Play
Bridges and tunnels often go unnoticed but are key to uninterrupted, imaginative play. Bridges transform into swaying rope crossings over a jungle river full of snapping crocodiles, and the tunnel becomes a secret entrance deep in the earth. They also help games like tag flow smoothly and safely over the playground. The bridge is wide, and the tunnel can easily accommodate an adult clambering through.
And, as if the bridge wasn't fun enough by itself, there is a tire swing underneath it! This is a great feature and will be the source of constant laughter!
Tip: Bridges and tunnels naturally connect different types of play. These elements often spark some of the most creative games and help unify the entire structure.
ADA Compliant Features
The Ranger includes an ADA staircase that provides accessible entry to the play tower, allowing children with mobility challenges to engage safely. Combined with sensory accessories from our All Play line, the Ranger Commercial Playground can be tailored to support a broader range of inclusive play experiences.

Multiple Slides, Less Congestion
One of the struggles with commercial playground equipment is congestion around a few fun slides or other highlights. With the Ranger, our three slide options are spread out from each other, helping keep the play safe.
The two Avalanche Slides are great options, and we make them right here in the USA. While not in the picture, our newest Avalanche designs have handles at the top of the slide, making it easier than ever for kids to get situated safely. The lip at the bottom provides a landing for them to accelerate before reaching the end of the slide.
The Turbo Tube Slide (also made in the USA) attracts children with no equal. Children love twirly, tube slides, and this slide will be one of the highlights of the Ranger. The turn angle is ample enough for even big kids to zoom in.
Tip: Children can sometimes "stack up" upside the slide when they decide to lodge themselves in it and not come out. While this is great fun for the kids, it's not for the adults supervising the play. Be sure to have clear rules, or if this is a concern, consider swapping it for an open spiral or straight slide to maintain flow and minimize waiting.
