Robert contacted ESP Play Parks following a flood during the winter of 2019 which destroyed their existing play area. Although the existing site worked well and was very popular they highlighted that it needs more modern and exciting equipment moving forward. Following our site survey it was shown that the current play surfacing was holding water in the play area with poor drainage.

We were contacted after being recommended from another housing developer we have worked with and soon sched-uled in a site meeting with the Development Manager to discuss the new playground. The site already had play equipment which you will see from the before images below. It was in very much need of attention and the local children did not use the area due to the equipment being old and dangerous. Crabtree Developments wanted to create an attractive space which would not only be usable for children but also adults. They wanted to lean on the side of being physically active to improve health and fitness. The area also needed to be a place where the local community can go to and socialise with each other and the potential to hold community summer events.
