Challenge

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.
