Our design comprises of a series of sliced mounds of differing characters linking the existing levels.

The mounds are either solid earth forms, or made from timber and climbing nets.

They offer interesting spaces on top, underneath and in-between for both play and socialising.

These in-between spaces facilitate different rhythms and speeds of activities. They are as valued by the children as the more traditional pieces of play equipment, providing incentive to imaginatively explore, inhabit and take ownership of the playground.
