    Abstract: Embodiments of a connector for commercial playground equipment are disclosed. In one embodiment, a playground component is provided that includes a connector pre-loaded on a rope. The connector includes a connector nut, optionally a washer, and a connector base that are kept from sliding off the end of the rope by a stop. The stop in one embodiment is a ferrule attached to the end of the rope. A specially shaped opening is formed in another component that is also part of the playground component. The specially shaped opening is configured such that at least a portion of the connector base is insertable through the opening when the connector base is rotated to a first orientation, but the connector base is unable to be pulled back through the specially shaped opening when rotated to a second orientation after insertion into the other component.
