The park has been designed with a core focus on inclusivity and diversity. The design incorporates a variety of materials, predominantly natural tones with select vibrant colours to provide visual stimulation. The area is designed to facilitate stimulating, role-playing, and collaborative play, and objectively promoting interaction among children of all abilities. Leveraging the existing fence-line, we have developed an accessible toddler area that prioritises inclusivity and offers significant play-value, encouraging structured developmental play.

• Five-Piece Agility Trail: encircling the area, comprising: o Inclusive Pull-up / Roll-over Bars o Balance Beam o Substantial Monkey Bars o Climbing Wall & Clamber Net o Walk & Stretch Posts. This trail is designed to enhance strength, balance, and coordination.

Seating has been included, as well as bins to promote a clean and tidy play-area

Our design for Randolph Lane Play Area creates an inclusive space with diverse play opportunities, ensuring children of all ages and abilities can play together. New equipment is consolidated on one side of the cycle path, minimising crossing. The existing fence will be refurbished and extended to include as many items as possible within a larger fenced area, featuring a new wide gate. The cableway and agility trail have been located outside the fenced area to provide a dedicated space for the more dynamic items. Two seating areas are included - benches within the fenced area and a wheelchair-accessible picnic bench in the dynamic area.

Fenced Area

The centrepiece of our design is the Diabolo MPU, featuring a 1.37m double-width slide, allowing a child and guardian to slide together. The platform is accessible via a scramble net suitable for users with limited mobility. A second 1.77m slide is reached via more challenging climbing elements. The open design provides clear sightlines and accessibility under the unit. Tactile features at ground level ensure interaction for users who cannot access upper decks.

The Inclusive Low Platform Roundabout accommodates standing or seated users, including wheelchair users. Its innovative design includes an indent to secure a wheelchair for transfer, along with handholds, backrests, and seats that mirror wheelchair ‘banana boards’.

A three-bay swing frame includes a Pod basket swing, flat seats, a cradle seat, and an inclusive supported seat. The Pod seat holds up to five users, promoting social interaction and offering reclined use. The Inclusive Seat provides full back support and harness for children who need it.

The Spinning Bowl offers rotational fun with back and side support, allowing independent or assisted use. The Star Springer is set at transfer height and provides security through handholds, and back and side supports.

Four interactive play panels provide low-level sensory play - two on the MPU and two standalone panels.

For older children, the Double Perch Seesaw reimagines the traditional seesaw with a standing position for users, offering a unique and cooperative play experience.

Dynamic Area

The 27m long Cableway is located at the back of the play area, whilst retaining distance from the football pitch.

The Agility trail includes a balance beam, A-frame climbing wall, monkey bars, and a climbing/traversing module to challenge physical strength and coordination.
