Completed project

Community Adventure Play Area

London · Public Play Space

A robust rope and timber adventure structure for a well-used public site, with high-level crossings and multiple climbing routes for older children.

Rope crossings • Multi-level platforms • Nets

The starting point

The brief

A well-used public site needing a structure that could take intensive, unsupervised daily use and still challenge older children.

What we built

In the finished space

  • Rope crossings between platforms
  • Multi-level timber platforms
  • Climbing nets and multiple routes up
  • Robust fixings and materials chosen for public use

How it's used

The difference it makes

Older children have somewhere demanding enough to keep coming back to, on a structure built for constant public use.

Ways to play

We use the recognised types of play as a design lens rather than a checklist, so a single structure can offer several very different kinds of play.
