Choosing your surfacing

Every playground needs compliant softfall underneath it — wet-pour rubber, sand & mulch or synthetic turf.

Who inclusive suits

Inclusive playgrounds such as Accessible Adventure, Harmony Hill, Open Path and Togetherland are designed so children of all abilities can play side by side, with accessible routes, sensory elements and ground-level activities alongside more traditional climbing. They suit schools, councils and community sites that want every child able to take part, not just observe.
