Welcome to Outdoor Play People where we design outdoor play equipment that brings imagination, natural materials and proper outdoor fun together. We’re a friendly Cornwall based team that takes pride in creating bespoke timber structures for schools, farm parks, holiday parks and visitor attractions across mainland UK.
Everything we build is crafted to feel warm, reliable and inviting and most importantly to stand the test of time, whatever the weather throws at it. Children thrive outdoors and we want to create spaces where they can climb, explore, imagine and feel free to be themselves. That’s why our equipment is hand made right here in our wrokshops in Cornwall with over almost 40 years of experience and craftsmanship behind every piece.
A big part of what makes working with us so psecial is our knowledge at every step. From our extensive work in farm parks and attractions to schools, early years, community projects and village play areas. We really have seen it all; from people flow to safety zones, swing heights to play surface conundrums, we can answer and advise on it all. From green field empty site to completion, an update to your current area, a little query on some equipment to a complete rebuild, we’ll be right by your side.
We deliver across mainland UK which means wherever your are based you can enjoy our bespoke timber outdoor play equipment that really is made to last, with a solid Cornish heart.

Do you deliver across the UK?
The short answer is YES. We deliver all our equipment across mainland UK. We can chat more about bespoke work and installations once we know more about your project. Simply use the contact form and one of our team will call you back for a friendly, fact finding chat.
Many of our best selling vehicle items are ‘place and play’ you simple tell us the surface you will be placing them on and we build the correct frame for them. They are then delivered by our favourite transport company form here in Cornwall, ensuring they are delivered safely and securely. You simply place them in postion and they are ready for maximum smiles immediately.
Is the equipment ready to use on delivery?
Well, this is a longer question but an easy one too.
Our bespoke timber towers and play areas that we design from scratch, with you and for you, are installed on site by our expert team, using the finest hand selected Gold Award winning timber, hot dipped galavanised feet for longevity in the British weather and the best stainless steel fixings all around. We do this all year arond and proudly hand over our craftsmanship to you when it’s complete. making you safe in the knowledge you have something that will bring tons of fun and last and last.

Our vehicles arrive fully assembled and ready for use, you simply need to unload and place in position for maximum smiles.
Is your timber equipment weather resistant?
OK, so the family farm where your beautiful new equipment will be made is based high on the North Cornwall coast above the wild Atlantic. When we say we know about weather. We really do!
We ensure that we have thought of everything, from hand selecting our Gold Award winning treated timber, to galvanised or stainless steel fixings all around, and our rope items made by fishermen here in Cornwall and hand fisnihed by us here in the workshop. The salty air, wickedly whipping winds, horrnedous hail, the weight of a hefty snowstrom….driving rain on hilltops to green algae under too many trees, we’ve seen it all and worked out what’s best for you and your equipment. So you can conecntrate on your visitors and what you do best without worrying about your crowd pleasing investment.
Do you install equipment?
Yes. take a look at our number two FAQ above, ‘is your equipment ready to use on delivery’ For some of our smaller more manageable items we also can support you in installing yourself. If you or your team have the capabilities, we can be on hand to send full instructions and be on all to help you. We don’t recommend trying to install one of our giant castles though, leave that to our expert team!
Do you design custom play areas?
Yes. Yes. Yes. Thsi is what we are great at. Whether it’s a solution for an education setting or a stand alone tower system for a busy family park or attraction, this is where our super powers really get going.
