Following some installation work we had carried out over previous years, in April 2021, we were contacted once again by this returning client. They needed some newly condemned equipment removing and replacing with something fresh and different. This was along with wanting to add some additional equipment to extend the existing play area out, specifying a sunken trampoline and a form of sand pit.
We visited the site and decided to design something bespoke to replace the condemned piece of equipment. We also did the same for the sand pit, because of it being open to the public. Due to the rural location of the play area and the fact it overlooked a huge cricket field, we thought a tractor would fit in perfectly. When discussing this with the client, they loved this idea. Speaking with the children when on site, the thought of imitating the groundsman on his ride-on lawnmower made them very excited for this to become a reality.
We also ended up designing a bespoke sand shack to incorporate some physical, imaginative and sensory play for the younger children who visit the play area. We included their request to cover the sand pit using some rustic roof cladding. The project was successfully completed in November 2021.
