The play area sits very well into the landscape and all of the equipment is proving to be incredibly popular with a wide age range of children. It has brought families and children out of their houses to play and socialise in just the way we had hoped for. We have even had coverage in the local newspaper, the Biggleswade Chronicle, copy of printed and online articles attached with a couple of additional photos. I also have several photos of the equipment without children which I will send separately and high res copies are available if you would like to use any in your own communications.

Playdale have provided us with an excellent service, design and quality installation which we are grateful for.
