Bringing Real Ninja Challenges to the Public Space!
Like millions around the world, we at Psagot Playgrounds were captivated by the TV phenomenon of Ninja obstacle courses.
Naturally, we asked ourselves:
If we were contestants—would we soar through the course like champions such as Yuval Shemla, or struggle to get past the first obstacle?
And with that question came a big idea:
Let’s create a real Ninja course for public parks!
We wanted a space where everyone could test themselves—physically and mentally—against a variety of challenges.
A place to beat your opponent… or even better, beat your own record from yesterday.
So, we got to work: planning, sketching, designing, producing, and finally getting certified by Israel’s Standards Institute.
Just before Sukkot 2020, we proudly installed the first public Ninja obstacle course in Israel!
The course includes obstacles with varying difficulty levels—and the option to adjust them to each user’s ability.
We even invited two 12-year-old girls and a 13-year-old boy (super athletic, by the way) to try it out.
Let’s just say… it wasn’t easy.
They’ll need to come back and train some more—especially on the bike wheels and the hover bars—if they want to complete the course faster and stronger.
But hey, they’re already champions in our eyes!
