Filton Children’s Centre

This project at Filton Children’s Centre was a collaboration with Landscape Architects Roundfield for client South Gloucestershire Council. Green Play Project manufactured and installed Roundfield’s design of a space to be enjoyed by a pre-school age group with minimal assistance. 

The Children’s Centre had a play garden that did not meet the needs of the users, in particular it had a grassy slope that was always very muddy, boulders that were very large and caused plenty of minor accidents and a large sand pit that had been boarded over.

The new design provides a low maintenance, all-weather garden with a practical sensory planting scheme set in a raised Robinia timber border. There are new bonded gravel paths for peddling, astroturf slopes for rolling and sitting on, and low level balance beams. The new boulders are made from a soft limestone and set low level, good for stepping stones and sitting on. Green Play Project manufactured bespoke stainless steel sound tubes, which encourage interaction across the play space.
