English term or phrase: planter

"Physical Development:
Gabriela appears very typical in her gross motor skills. Runs with direction and refined coordination. Walking in a forward direction, she is able to balance on the ***planter*** ('balance beam'). She plays on playground equipment, such as the monkey bars."

¿Será que se refieren a que el macetero (o lugar decorativo que contiene plantas, pues) o el borde de la acera donde hay plantas (?) sirve como una especie de barra de equilibrio?

Sólo se me ocurre eso... me acuerdo que cuando yo era chiquita, siempre caminaba por el borde de la acera de la calle (el "cordón" se llama eso, ¿no?), ése que está pintado de amarillo.

Porque si no, ¿qué quieren decir con "planter" aquí? Ni idea.

Gracias.
