Activity system and method

Abstract

An activity system which includes a play area and at least one wall, which defines two opposed play surfaces on opposite sides of the wall. Each play surface is capable of facilitating an activity. At least one aperture is formed in the at least one wall, which allows users of the activity system to complete an objective of an activity facilitated by the activity system.

         27 . An activity system which includes:
 a play area; and two or more walls attached to one another that divides the play area into a number of independent and separate activity stations; wherein each wall defines two opposed play surfaces on opposite sides of the wall, each play surface capable of facilitating an activity; and wherein at least one wall has:   (a) at least one aperture being formed in the wall, wherein the aperture allows users of the activity system to complete an objective of an activity facilitated by the activity system; and/or   (b) at least one projection or depression formed in the play surface of the wall, wherein the projection or depression bounces back an object thrown at the wall at an unpredictable angle.   
     
     
         28 . An activity system as claimed in  claim 27 , wherein the walls are modular walls having modular wall sections of various predetermined shapes and sizes. 
     
     
         29 . An activity system as claimed in  claim 28 , wherein the modular wall sections comprise at least two discrete sets of predetermined shapes and sizes, the first set having modular wall sections of a first predetermined size and shape and the other set(s) having modular wall sections of other predetermined size(s) and shape(s). 
     
     
         30 . An activity system as claimed in  claim 28 , wherein at least one modular wall section is prefabricated prior to installation within the activity system. 
     
     
         31 . An activity system as claimed in  claim 28 , wherein at least one modular wall section has at least one of a plurality of design variations which facilitate activities played on the play surface of the wall. 
     
     
         32 . An activity system as claimed in  claim 27 , wherein a wall of the activity system has at least one of a plurality of design variations which facilitates the performance of at least two independent game activities by users. 
     
     
         33 . An activity system as claimed in  claim 32 , wherein the game activities facilitated by the activity system include any one or more of the following: jump rope, wall climbing, handball, basketball, kickball, four square, soccer, cricket, tennis, badminton, volleyball and bowling. 
     
     
         34 . An activity system as claimed in  claim 27 , wherein the activity system is deployed in a public park or school grounds. 
     
     
         35 . An activity system as claimed in  claim 27 , wherein the activity system is deployed on the floor of a building structure. 
     
     
         36 . An activity system as claimed in  claim 35 , wherein the base of each wall is removably engaged with the floor of the building. 
     
     
         37 . An activity system as claimed in  claim 27 , wherein two walls are attached to one another using a joining assembly into which the ends of adjacent walls can be fitted at varying angles. 
     
     
         38 . An activity system as claimed in  claim 27 , wherein the play surface has markings, printing or text applied to it. 
     
     
         39 . An activity system as claimed in  claim 38 , wherein markings are applied to a play surface to assist in the performance of a game or activity. 
     
     
         40 . An activity system as claimed in  claim 38 , wherein markings display information pertinent to the rules or objectives of a particular game facilitated by an activity station associated with the wall. 
     
     
         41 . An activity system as claimed in  claim 27 , wherein a basketball or netball hoop, volleyball, tennis or badminton net is attached to a wall. 
     
     
         42 . An activity system as claimed in  claim 27 , wherein an aperture formed in a wall defines a goal mouth. 
     
     
         43 . An activity system as claimed in  claim 27 , wherein additional equipment is deployed within an aperture of a wall, being a net used to capture a ball driven through the aperture or a set of cricket stumps or target for a ball. 
     
     
         44 . An activity system as claimed in  claim 27  wherein there are three walls that are attached to one another at a central axis and intersecting at an angle of about 120 degrees. 
     
     
         45 . An activity system as claimed in  claim 44 , wherein the three walls intersect at a central axis, which comprises a wall section that has three curved play surfaces.
