Pasadena Playhouse flows along the side of the yard and then angles to the back, all on a slight incline so that each section "steps up" the slope.  The large Double Playhouse anchors the front with the Hexagon Treefort in the middle and the Lookout Tower with sandbox below anchors the end. In between, two very long, fun bridge-over-swings.  This large play structure is strategically placed to leave plenty of yard space.

A true Castle for 6 kids with a big 12' x 12' Deck, Castle Rooks, flying flags, large Clubhouse above and Jailhouse below (complete with secret Turbo Tube Slide escape!) and many, many excellent play features. Come take a peek at this extraordinary Castle Ramparts.

Public Use: A custom, craftsman-style, redwood Play Structure finished with natural, non-toxic tung-oil stains. Comes with: Gable Roof with board & batten siding and cupola, Coil Climber, Rope Net Ladder, Transition Platform with open Cobra Coil Slide, and Transfer Platform System.  Designed for the 5 to 12 age range, this elegant play structure complies with ASTM F1487-07 Standards for Public Use Playground Equipment and Americans with Disabilities Act guidelines.

This custom Treehouse is built around 2 magnificent trees with a 16' long Swinging Bridge connecting the large Clubhouse with multiple decks on one end to the 3 levels of Tree Decks with Zip Line ride on the other end. Beautiful, elegant and fun!
