Play equipment and Areas

Greenspan can provide robust and fun playground equipment that enthuses children to bring out their best. Whilst children are enjoying themselves they can also improve their fitness, agility and social well-being.

Bespoke play equipment

Tailored to your unique requirements, our aim is to provide schools with innovative playground equipment that enables children to have challenging fun whilst still having potential learning opportunities. We'd like the opportunity to provide you with some creative design concepts for your project that you can be proud to show to teachers, governors and parents. We're confident that our 3D design layouts will impress your decision makers. Each area has specifically designed playground equipment that fits into your play area in accordance with EN1176 standards.

Working closely with our design team, we offer a unique range of equipment and services suited to early years, primary, secondary and sixth form colleges throughout the UK. Together with our experience and your ideas we can create outdoor learning environments to encourage children to have fun while improving active, social and imaginative abilities.
