PLAYLINE DESIGN NEWS
Goddard Park, Swindon, Wiltshire – December 2007 - January 2008
We were successful in being awarded the contract for supplying and installing a very creative trim trail with some wonderful colourful wet pour rubber safer surfacing (all our own and by us!!) along with a Sunray Pergola and other items. As you can see the finished article is something to be proud of and is now our second of our larger projects in or very near Swindon in Wiltshire.
Butchers Coppice Scout Camp, Bournemouth - February 2008
This large camp run by The Scout Association, requested Playline Design's expertise in bespoke work in designing 2 playground areas for their long established site on the outskirts of Bournemouth.
Playline Design were awarded the £60k contract against 2 other well established professional playground companies due to our bespoke and natural looking design.
The brief was to create as much activity for the cubs, scouts and other children that stay on or use the facilities, to combine it in with the natural environment and create a natural play area.
For this reason our timber equipment was chosen, along with green components and our ever popular Tiger Play safer surfacing – some 380m² of it!!!
In the near centre of the main area stood an ancient knurly old Oak tree which other companies tried to avoid with their plans – we did just the opposite and designed a whole "village" of play towers with one main tower set around the tree itself.
The result is a fantastically challenging, individual and most importantly accessible for less able and wheelchair users alike.
For this reason the camp has invited the local special needs schools in to use the activities and to see just for themselves as to what can be done.
The second area consisted of a huge trim trail winding its way through the trees, again to provide challenges for many ages and abilities.
Just look at these pictures in detail as they do tell the story of what a wonderful project that this turned out to be…
Education Show 2008, NEC – February 2008
We would like to thank all of the people who visited our stand at the NEC and all of those who have requested that we visit them to discuss improvements to their sites in the future.
You certainly couldn't miss the stand with its castle frontage and colorful displays.
Columbia Grange School, Sunderland – March 2008
This school originally asked us to visit them about some playhouses, but when they saw the huge range of equipment and services that we offered they were so impressed that they decided that they also wanted a large trim trail and 2 play units as well!!!
The result was a huge success and again goes to show that we have a very national and even international coverage and can manage the logistics that go with this sort of challenge.
