Built for children ages 6 to 23 months, this nature-inspired structure packs a remarkable number of interactive play events into a space-conscious design ideal for parks, daycares, schools, and churches.

Constructed with galvanized steel, powder-coated finishes, and UV-stabilized HDPE plastic, the Seedling is built to stand up to daily use in high-traffic environments. The structure supports both anchor bolt (surface mount) and ground spike (in-ground) installation methods, and ships with all required hardware for straightforward setup.

Roof & Mount Options - Which to Choose
No Roof / Anchor Bolt: The open-top version without a shade roof, mounted to a concrete surface using anchor bolts. Best for covered or shaded outdoor areas, or indoor installations where a roof is unnecessary. The anchor bolt mount is ideal for concrete pads and other hard surfaces.
No Roof / Ground Spike: Same open-top structure, but installed using ground spikes driven directly into the ground. Great for natural turf or compacted soil sites where surface mounting is not practical.
With Roof / Anchor Bolt: Adds a durable HDPE roof panel that provides shade and comfort for children during play. Surface-mounted with anchor bolts to a concrete pad. Ideal for sun-exposed locations where UV protection matters. Weighs 492 lbs.
With Roof / Ground Spike: The fully sheltered version with in-ground spike installation. Best for open grassy areas with high sun exposure where you want both shade and a clean, post-in-ground look.

What age range is the Discovery Center Seedling designed for?
The Seedling is specifically designed for toddlers ages 6 months to 23 months. Its low deck heights, handrail-equipped entry, and interactive panel-based play events are all scaled and engineered for the youngest playground users.
What is the difference between anchor bolt and ground spike mounting?
Anchor bolt mounting attaches the structure to a concrete surface using bolts set into the slab - ideal for paved play areas and permanent installations on hard surfaces. Ground spike mounting drives stakes directly into the earth, making it a better fit for grassy or compacted soil sites. Both options ship with all required hardware included.
Does the roof variant add significant size or weight?
The use zone remains the same at 13'7" x 13'4" regardless of roof option. The roof does add weight - the no-roof version weighs 410 lbs, while the with-roof version weighs 492 lbs. The roof itself is made from UV-stabilized HDPE plastic and is designed to provide shade and comfort during play.
Is this structure ADA compliant?
Yes. The Discovery Center Seedling is ADA-compliant and features inclusive ground-level components or transfer stations to support children of all abilities. The handrail-equipped entryway also helps children with varying mobility levels transition safely to the first deck.
How is this structure shipped and what does installation involve?
The Seedling ships via freight on a pallet. All required installation hardware is included with the structure. Installation involves assembling the components on-site and securing the posts using either anchor bolts into a concrete pad or ground spikes into soil, depending on your selected variant. We recommend having a qualified installer or contractor handle the setup. Contact us for shipping quotes and delivery details before purchasing.
What warranty is included?
UltraPlay offers long-term and lifetime warranties on key components of the Discovery Center Seedling. For specific warranty terms by component, please contact us or refer to the installation manual included with your order.
