Creating an inclusive and engaging custom playground

The outcome? A unique Bass fish themed playground

KOMPAN delivered a playground centred around a bespoke 25-meter-long bass inspired by the local creek known for having bass. The play sculpture features a wide variety of play options, encouraging kids to explore the possibilities. The playground includes inclusive ground-level play options, such as sensory panels, rope-play, and hammocks that can be enjoyed by everyone. The bass design acts as a local landmark that encourages visitors and consistent community usage.

The overall design and inclusion of sensory panels increase kids' fascination and intrigue, which helps develop cognitive and creative skills.

The extensive rope play and other engaging outdoor playground equipment help kids develop their physical and social skills.

The customer was thrilled with the entire process provided by KOMPAN, and the park has become a favourite amongst the local community.

What steps were involved in this project?

After receiving the enquiry, our local expert arranged a site visit to meet with the customer. During the visit, they assessed the space, discussed the customer’s vision, and provided professional guidance on the best solutions to meet their needs.

Once we had gathered all the necessary details, our team carefully crafted a bespoke design that aligned with the customer's vision. Every element was thoughtfully considered to ensure the design not only met their functional and aesthetic requirements but also stayed within budget.

A mutually convenient installation date was agreed with the customer, ensuring minimal disruption. Once finalised, all equipment was carefully delivered, and comprehensive safety measures were put in place to protect the public and maintain a secure working environment. With everything in place, our expert installation team got to work.

The project was successfully completed within the agreed timeframe. Once the installation was finalised, our experienced inspection team conducted a thorough safety inspection, carrying out detailed checks on all equipment, surfacing, and structural elements. This rigorous process ensured that the site met all industry standards and safety regulations.

Watch as families enjoy and explore their brand-new outdoor space.
