The "Earth Hill with Steps" is a great way to augment an existing hill, adding dimension and structure to an inclined landscape.

This feature is particularly well suited for toddlers and young children just learning to walk. The hill provides a challenge for their newly developing coordination, and the tire add support and stability. The "Earth Hill with Steps" can be used as a transition piece on a playground or the steps can be structured to lead to a slide or other playground element on the top of the hill.
