Pirate-themed accessible playground created by Redlynch for Folly Farm Adventure Park in Wales
Redlynch was approached, via sister company Adventure Playgrounds Wales, to design and install an accessible themed play area for Folly Farm Adventure Park.
The award-winning visitor attraction wanted to add to its already extensive range of on-site facilities with an exciting playground that combined theming, a centrepiece structure, and good wheelchair accessibility.
Solution
The design focused on an island and sea theme, achieved through a boat multiplay unit with blue rubber safety surfacing showcasing the water, an on-land treehouse activity tower, and accessible multiplay equipment, designed to provide easy access for wheelchair users.
Surfacing was a mix of bark chippings and coloured wet pour rubber to aid access for wheelchair users, and to provide anti-erosion around high wear areas.
