Overview

Wet pour surfacing from RTC Safety Surfaces defied expectations at Cedars Park in Waltham Cross, conquering a landscaping dilemma for Wicksteed where vibrant green surfacing and an eggshell spiral have transformed a historical mound into a vibrant, safe play space.

Context

Opened in 2013 as part of a regeneration project, the Venusberg mound sparks curiosity about the park’s past. Named after the Roman goddess of love, its original purpose remains unknown, but today it serves as a place for children to explore and climb. This connection to the park’s history, dating back to the 16th century, is what makes the Venusberg mound so special.

Project detail

The challenge was to transform the mound into a vibrant, safe play space with RTC Safety Surfaces' wet pour safety surfacing. This wasn’t an average installation. The steep, sloped mound had stumped other surfacing companies, deeming it an impossible feat. But RTC's creative techniques tamed the terrain, creating a playscape unlike any other.

This project wasn’t just about laying down wet pour; it was about pushing the limits of what’s achievable.

Outcome

RTC Safety Surfaces has transformed a daunting obstacle into a visually stunning and functional playground feature.

The final result showcases a vibrant green wet pour surface adorned with an eggshell spiral pathway, seamlessly integrated into the existing landscape.
