This customer approached us with some designs and a wish list; after a fair amount of to-ing and fro-ing with various designs and ideas we finally delivered a scheme that ticked all the right boxes and also fitted their budget. It is always interesting looking back at the design process when working with customers as for us, we find the best designs are born out of constant communication and building relationships with our customer. Ahoy shipmates and scallywags!! 'We are very excited to have been working with Outdoor Play People, and to come up with this very exciting bespoke pirate…
This Child Development Centre had an existing outdoor play area where a large chunk of it couldn't be used as it was deemed unsafe. They also had a wish list of what they would like and we set to work to do what we love doing best and that is to design in a way that can tick all the boxes. This is a totally bespoke play area and the first time we have used sleepers in a project. Our customer is over the moon with what we have done and we are now working on designing some extra bits…
Word of Mouth marketing! This project came to us via a recommendation from another customer. During site discussions there was a clear shopping list of items the School would like. The list included a Fort, Play Boat, Stage and a Shelter on a good quality safety surface. The budget was good but we weren't sure that we could do everything within that figure. We really don't like being beaten so we put on our thinking caps and talked through ideas with the whole team here at OPP HQ. The result of those discussions were that we were able to simplify…
Did a little site revisit recently. This beast is nearly two years old and gets some serious use. Over 300 children attend this school. During break times it is so swamped with children playing on it you can barely see the equipment. It still looks so good! Awesome! If you have an exciting project in mind, Outdoor Play People would love to get involved, why not get in touch and discuss how we might help turn your project into reality.
Another before and after success story! We recently called in at Lanner and visited a play area that we installed and signed off last Autumn; we like to pop by after a couple of months have passed and check all is well. The site originally had a Junior Tower System that had definitely been new for far too long. Parish Councils are often working to tight budgets and where possible we aim to repair and refurbish existing equipment if safe and cost effective to do so. In this case however the Junior System - and as the customer suspected -…
The lovely people at Landewednack Parish Council were after some play equipment to replace their rather tired equipment that had served the community well for many years. The Council requested something similar to what they already had (if it ain't broke, don't fix it) but an updated version. Bright colours were on the wish list and something extra for the younger children to play on. With a comfortable budget and a sensible wish list we went to work designing something for this beautiful location. Mainly because of its coastal setting and the nearby Lifeboat Station we suggested theming the new…
