Design
We have been designing, manufacturing
and installing playgrounds for over 50
years, in fact since 1958. Our designers
come from a variety of design backgrounds
including landscape designers.
Opening Events
Involving key stakeholders such as staff
and children, is as important at the end of
a project as at the beginning. So why not
show off your new playground with an
opening event that we’ll help you organise!
Inspection & Maintenance
We provide proactive and professional inspection, maintenance and
refurbishment services to schools for our own play equipment and
also other manufacturers.

Open-ended, un-structured play!
Imagination Playground is a unique mobile play system designed to
unlock the creative powers of
children aged 2 and up through open-ended, unstructured play. Think
of a giant-sized construction
game, with lightweight blue blocks in a variety of shapes and sizes.
These loose parts can be stacked,
connected, channelled, or just lined up…all to make children’s ideas
a reality.
Children see a thousand possibilities. They build ships, cars and castles.
They bring fantasy animals to life,
while making dramatic scenarios and creating imaginary worlds. Learnin
g while playing is an important
benefit. Imagination Playground can keep a large group busy for hours—
encouraging communication,
collaboration, and engage gross motor skills. Imagination Playground
is portable and can be used indoors
and out, with storage carts that can be wheeled through any standard-sized
door.
