Providing Local Authorities with Solutions for Playground Needs
Creating Inspiring Play Areas in Housing Developments Since 2003
ESP Play Parks specialises in designing, manufacturing, and installing outdoor play equipment tailored specifically for housing developments, both within the UK and internationally. Exceptional playground design has the power to inspire children of all ages, nurturing their physical and cognitive development through play. At ESP Play Parks, we are committed to crafting captivating play opportunities that are not only functional but also visually appealing, enriching the play areas within housing developments.
Every child is unique, with their personality and strengths, but they all share an innate desire to play. This includes children with disabilities who have the same aspirations when it comes to play areas in housing developments. Play spaces must be thrilling, distinctive, and offer diverse activities for children to enjoy with their families.

Inclusivity and holistic design are pivotal aspects of our design philosophy, particularly tailored to meet the needs of housing developments. Our approach to play area design welcomes users of all ages and abilities within these communities. An inclusive approach from ESP Play Parks doesn’t mean that every child can play on every piece of equipment, but it does mean that every child should have the opportunity to engage in something. Every child’s experience within housing developments matters! Ensuring equitable access to and usage of play areas is a fundamental responsibility. We firmly believe that our design and product solutions align with the primary objectives of any housing development project, encompassing play value, aesthetics, and the “wow” factor.

Innovation & Development Through Research
Play is ever-evolving, but children remain the foremost experts in this ever-changing world. Successful play areas within housing developments are built on their input, combined with a specialist understanding of ongoing developments in child development. ESP innovates and develops through comprehensive research, actively listening to and observing children at play within housing developments. These principles underpin our approach to play area design, tailored to address the unique needs of housing developments. We continuously engage in and commission research into the benefits of play and child development, ensuring that our solutions enrich the experiences provided in housing development play areas. Child endorsement and our specialist insights into play value form the basis of our design process, guaranteeing that ESP equipment meets the criteria for attraction, retention, and play value within any local authority.

Case Study: Dursley Parish Council
Dursely Parish Council was looking to add a climbing element to their existing playground. Following a public consultation and discussions with local school children, they identified that the Kingshill House Playground was not catering for much climbing play values and also accomodating for junior aged children.
The Playground Project
We visited the site and completed our analysis of the play area before our specialist playground designers got to work. Taking into consideration what the current playground has to offer and how we can incorporate a climbing element. We decided that a Climbing Pyramid would work really well with this space. We were conscious that we would need to keep grass and grass matting as the surfacing which then lent itself perfectly for the medium climbing pyramid. This gives some great height, which is exciting, challenging, and adventurous. It is also a great play item that promotes good balance, coordination, stamina, and strength.
Case Study: Coate Water Country Park, Swindon
By 2030, Swindon will have all of the positive characteristics of a British city with one of the UK’s most successful economies, a low-carbon environment with compelling cultural, retail and leisure opportunities and excellent infrastructure. It will be a model of well managed housing growth that supports and improves new and existing communities. Swindon will be physically transformed with existing heritage and landmarks complemented by new ones that people who live, work and visit here would recognise and admire. It will remain, at heart, a place of fairness and opportunity where people can aspire to and achieve prosperity, supported by strong civic and community leadership. The scope and purpose of this appointment is to complete the construction of a new Accessible and Inclusive Play Park within the Coate Water Country Park.
Local Authority: Swindon Borough Council
ESP Play Parks liaised closely with Swindon Borough Council and upon visiting site and completing a full consultation realised this was not a standard Play Area but a hugely important community project that was at the heart of what ESP Play Parks strive for. The chosen positioning for the new Play Area required extensive groundworks to create a level site that would be 100% accessible and upon reading the original specification we knew we could improve on the desire for full inclusive destination play area.
