Durable Outdoor Play for Local Authorities & Public Parks

A community playground is the heart of a local area. For local authorities and parish councils, the challenge is balancing a limited budget with the need for equipment that is inclusive, exciting, and—most importantly—built to last. At Outdoor Play People, we specialise in creating “indestructible” timber play spaces that provide high play value with minimal maintenance.

Why Choose Outdoor Play People?

We have been supplying durable, beautifully crafted timber play equipment to local authorities across the UK for over a decade. Our reputation is built on honest advice, transparent pricing, and equipment that genuinely lasts.

Inclusive Play for Every Child

Every community deserves a playground where all children can participate. We design with inclusion at the forefront — from wheelchair-accessible routes to sensory play panels that engage children of all abilities.

Bespoke Design Service

No two parks are the same. Our in-house design team creates 3D renders of your proposed play space before a single post is dug, so you can present the vision to councillors and residents with confidence.

Can't find what you're looking for?

If you have a specific brief, a tight budget, or an unusual space, get in touch. We love a challenge and have delivered projects ranging from a single spring rider to multi-zone destination parks.

Built for Public Life

Public parks face heavy footfall and the unpredictable British weather. We use pressure-treated Scandinavian Redwood and hot-dipped galvanised steel feet to ensure your investment stands tall for decades, not just seasons.

Safety First: All our equipment is designed and installed to meet BS EN 1176/1177 standards, making RoSPA inspections a breeze.

Inclusive Design: We believe every child in the community deserves to play. Our designs incorporate wheelchair-accessible ramps, sensory panels, and inclusive swings.

Sustainable & Ethical: As a family-run business, we use FSC-certified timber, ensuring your community project is as green as the park it sits in.

From Parish Councils to City Parks

Whether you are looking for a single “Place & Play” spring rider or a multi-tower destination park, our Cornish workshop handles everything from 3D design to the final safety surfacing.
