Outdoor play equipment

Create inspiring outdoor spaces for play and learning with high-quality playground equipment for memorable play experiences.

Outdoor play is connected with a wide range of long-lasting, positive benefits for all users from improved health and wellbeing to enhanced physical and cognitive development.

The playground is the place where friendships are formed and good times are enjoyed. And the right choice of playground equipment is an important feature when aiming to provide an inclusive and safe place for fun and activity.

A playground is at the heart of a community whether that is a school or SEN community, local neighbourhood, holiday park or even a hospital or healthcare setting. Outdoor play provision offers the chance for children, parents and carers to take a break from routine, to escape the screens and take pleasure in the freedom a playground provides.

Playgrounds are safe environments where even little ones can take calculated risks, climbing a little further up the play tower or swinging a little higher with their friends.
An investment in playground equipment is an investment in the future happiness and prosperity of a place, exposing its young people to opportunities to boost their social skills, challenge their abilities and push new boundaries.

An inclusive playground brings everyone together and celebrates diversity. The right mix of play equipment has the power to unleash creativity and imagination, to give active children the ability to take on new adventures and provide spaces for exploration and discovery for those who prefer a less boisterous environment. Playground equipment offers a sensory experience, bringing new sights, sounds, movement and textures into a young person’s world.
