Some future plans for a school which offers environmental educational programs for children and adults:
"equipement d'Accro branches, creation d'un arboretum, installation d'une ferme pedagogique..."
(excuse the missing accents)
I gather it's something children do at summer camp, an outdoor activity on a course of some kind?

aerial assault course
This was discussed in a Yahoo! translator's group I'm part of a few months ago - and this was my preferred translation. It came from someone very experienced and has lots of hits in Google.
"Accrobranching" also exists, but doesn't seem to be used much.

: I'm sorry, but to me "playground equipment" sounds like something that would be up to, say, 3 metres high. These people are further from the ground than that. Mind you, I'm from the UK - maybe Canadian playground equipment is bigger than ours : )

naaaahh; although we do appear to have a tad more space than you folks, seriously, keep in mind that it is all built to scale for toddlers. It is the same kind of equipment as "monkey bars" and stuff. It really is playground equipment...
