In today’s video game culture, how can we get kids off the sofa and back on the playground?

The answer is NEOS.

NEOS—the world’s first electronic playsystems for the playground—combines the speed and fun of video games with the explosive movement of aerobic exercise to create the most physically challenging and exciting activity ever to hit your playspace. In fact, playing NEOS delivers a workout comparable to jogging or playing soccer, raising heart rates by an average of 20%.

As players race each other and the clock, they’re developing their agility, coordination, strength, and stamina. They’re building teamwork and cooperation skills. And they’re having too much fun to notice!

So wish we had something like this growing up! This is at the playground at Overlook. The kids had a blast! They had fun on the "old" traditional playground equipment too...
