Bring Creativity into Your Unique, Themed Playground Design
Your sports or play area deserves a unique playground design that is exciting and fits in with the surrounding area. A themed playground with a colourful bright design is a great way to generate buzz around your play area. Get your local community interested in having fun outdoors this summer with a creative and safe space to play.
Playground Design as an Expression of Your Unique Playground Identity
With a centrepiece to bring your playground design together, you can express the value that your site brings to your local community. Themed playgrounds can bring history and imagination to life with 3D elements that provide tactile stimulation to enhance play for all ages! Designers can shape mounds of JungleMulch into simple or intricate designs as unique play features or for 3D decoration.
JungleMulch is a vibrant and non-toxic sustainable flooring material made from recycled tyres. It is a versatile, useful surface with a less disruptive installation process than many alternatives. Incorporating bonded rubber mulch into your surfaces creates fun playground designs that are resistant to weathering and erosion.
Textured playground flooring is also a brilliant way to build the value of inclusivity into your playground design. Jungle Mulch pathways can be used with other surfacing such as wet pour rubber or with raised bumps and bright colours to provide accessibility for the visually impaired on pathways and playgrounds. Express how important having a safe space to play is for everybody by incorporating accessibility into your playground design in unique ways.
Practical Playground Design with Mixed Surfacing Options
PlaySmart offers a variety of playground surface options because we know that each playground needs specific considerations to match what it needs. The best surface for children’s play areas may not be the same as the adjoining sports surface or even the accessible pathways incorporated into the site.
Combining playground flooring can meet the variety of needs your playground has, especially in multi-use or smaller sites. Your playground surface options should adapt to the requirements of your geographies and what your users are looking for. You can add more complex patterns to existing wet pour surfaces such as our colourful RubbaSmart wet pour. Additionally, EDPM rubber mulch or Jungle Mulch overlay designs continue to provide safety surfacing protection while looking amazing!
If you are looking for affordable sustainable flooring for your playground, Corkeen cork flooring is a great choice. For more on Corkeen you can read our Guide to Corkeen. However, if some areas require special considerations such as greater critical fall heights under equipment, you may require safety surfacing such as rubber grass mats to keep your play area safe.
Mixed flooring playground designs can be used to provide fully functional sites for varied uses easily. Modular grass mats such as EcoSmart can be easily applied on any grass surface next to another flooring material. Corkeen, when installed by our professional playground installation team, has clear edges that provide smooth transition between different surface materials.
Natural or Bright, you need Colourful Designs that last!
Different playground themes require a unique blend of colour and patterns to turn your play area ideas into a reality and attract more visitors.
In the playground design process, our installation team works with you. We take into account your time-frame, and your budget to choose the right playground design for you. This can involve creating unique designs and colour combinations in your mixed flooring design, or we can help you choose from our wide range of existing options and colour blends to suit your playground project. We can apply autumnal colours, bright blends, or unique blues and greens over large areas to suit any playground. While more unique designs are placed in particular focal areas to draw your users to certain parts of the site.
Naturalistic colours are great to create unobtrusive pathways and natural play areas that match the surroundings of your outdoor area. Bright colours create the best surface for children’s play areas and particularly are amazing nursery or primary school playground ideas as younger children and infants see brighter, primary colours more clearly and find designs using them more interesting and exciting! Jungle Mulch and EPDM Mulch uses all-natural, non-toxic colourants to create a huge range of unique colour blends that do not wear off over time with heavy play or rain.
