Following site visits and working carefully with the clients Caledonia Play created bespoke proposal drawings of the play area which were revised until all the criteria of the brief were fulfilled.

Caledonia Play installed:

Main structure: a large octagonal tower 3.5 x 3.5m with a platform height of about 2.4m supported with robinia timber legs and balustrades.
This large tower leads to a middle sized tower and a further two lower towers.
Combining a variety of access points and varying play towers the new play area offers a wide range of play opportunities for a large age-range of children.
The skeleton frame of the play structure is made of Robinia, a heavy, hard, strong and close grained wood making it very durable in close contact with the ground.
Using slow grown, dense timbers from sustainable managed sources, which carry FSC or PEFC chain of custody certification, Caledonia Play products meet European safety standard BS EN 1176.

The installation team were sensitive to the needs of the organisation and were careful to have minimum impact with regards to parking vehicles, creating noise and generally keeping the area as tidy as possible.

Budget: Over £30,000

Mabie Farm Park Case study

The owners of Mabie Farm Park were looking to develop their indoor play area to offer a suitable wet-weather alternative for the children should it be required. Mabie Farm Park already provided a soft play area. They were looking for something different and unusual providing something unique becoming an asset to the site and something that could be used in the business’ marketing.

The design was to incorporate various elements which simulate different forms of play and activities and to be suitable for broad age range with a mix of challenges.
