Creating exciting possibilities for play
Playing is the most natural thing in the world. It provides the opportunity for children to grow and learn whilst having fun, and children learn best when they play together.
KOMPANs objective is to provide complete playgrounds that are challenging and accessible to children of all ages and abilities. KOMPAN has over 20 years’ experience of designing innovative playgrounds that appeal to all, aided by an excellent research and development team based at the KOMPAN Institute in Denmark. The products in our market-leading range span all ages, abilities and accommodate every imaginable aspect of a child’s physical and mental development.
Our range includes a portfolio of Outdoor Playground Equipment, MUGA’s, Themed play, Climbing Nets and Structures, Indoor Flexible Furniture and Sport and Fitness Equipment.
The council wanted a play area that would encourage children to get active and make them aware of their surroundings. The focal point is a fantastic 8m high GIANTS tower which stands proud in the middle of the playground. The heritage of the site has also been thought of, with the use of colours and graphics from the nearby Cartwright museum, which links nicely into the surrounding area.
The outdoor gym at Memorial Park is small and compact but contains everything you need for a full body workout. The fitness equipment is adjustable, to suit different user heights, and offers a genuine resistance, very similar to that seen in indoor gym equipment, but not in many other outdoor gyms.
The goal was to turn Carden Park into a multi-level hub of play, sport and fitness for enjoyment by the entire community. Inclusive and accessible equipment was a must, as well as offering a clear progression route for children to follow as they grow.
The play areas at the attraction have been a massive hit with visitors, many of which are children or pre-teens, so having something to suit every age range is working really well.
