Challenge

Sutcliffe Play's distributor in the South West was tasked by Creech St Michael Parish Council with designing and installing a large central multi-play structure to complement the existing play area at Creech Recreational Park in Somerset.

The new structure needed to complement the existing equipment on the playground and provide a wide range of play opportunities. It had to be impressive enough to sit next to a large multi-use games area and an outdoor fitness area.

Solution

After many months of discussion and design proposals a new bespoke multi-play structure was designed to become the focal point of the revamped playground.

To have the desired effect the Sutcliffe Play design team created their biggest bespoke new play structure to date.

Goliath multiplay unit

As part of the company’s Playzone range, Goliath, is packed with play opportunities that will keep children of all ages engaged for many years to come. The unit boasts 37 play value elements and stands at an impressive 5.27m high. It has a wide range of activities and linking bridges extending around a Y-shaped structure. There are three slides, climbing walls, scramble nets, rope bridges, rope climbs, fireman poles, a ring crawler, bridges, a lookout tower, pull up wall and much more.

The unit has been designed with fun and excitement at the core whilst providing physical, social, imaginative and creative play options to keep children coming back for more.

Other play equipment

Goliath is complemented by other Sutcliffe Play equipment installed at the playground – an Inclusive Dish Roundabout, Pirate Rocker and Cobra Swing.

The Cobra Swing is a challenging multi-user swing where up to 6 children of varied ages and abilities can all swing together. It requires teamwork and balance to get the rope seat moving. Using a combination of balancing, swinging and rocking movements this multi-user swing encourages social co-operation and locomotor play. It can be enjoyed by a wide age group range and is suitable for adults to help smaller children.
