Council playground equipment isn’t just about play – it’s a vital resource for communities, encouraging children to stay active, socialise and develop essential life skills.
We’ve worked with councils and local authorities across the UK to create safe, inclusive and engaging play spaces, from full park redevelopments to upgrading individual pieces of council play equipment.

Play doesn’t stop at the school gates – council playground equipment helps children learn, grow and thrive through discovery, social interaction and active play.
Access to council playground equipment is vital for children and families, which is why we provide equipment for any outdoor setting, from educational play equipment to playground favourites – including swings, slides, roundabouts and more.
No two communities are the same – and their playgrounds shouldn’t be either.
Every council-managed playground comes with its own considerations, from budget and available space to ensuring accessibility with inclusive equipment for children of all abilities.
Playdale’s council playground specialists can help you maximise local authorities’ investment, offering a wide range of equipment and surfacing to create a safe, engaging and long-lasting play space for your community.

Millom Town Council worked alongside Copeland Borough Council and the local community to raise funds to create ‘the best play area in the North West’ that would provide a real boost to the young people of Millom and bring visitors and tourism to this small coastal town situated on the edge of the Lake District National Park.
‘The Playdale team worked closely with us to develop a vibrant theme for our new adventure playground at Gressenhall Farm and Workhouse, which is a unique site. The designs presented by Playdale fitted in with our woodland and heritage environment really well. The installation of the new playground equipment came with complications including a challenging split level location, active protected wildlife and the Covid-19 lockdown but the Playdale team were flexible and were able to deliver a fantastic looking adventure playground area for us despite some challenges along the way. Our visitors are now enjoying the play equipment and the new bespoke tower units certainly complement the woodland surroundings and have the wow factor we were hoping to achieve.’ Andrew Smith, Operations Manager, Norfolk Museums Service
Pantside is a small residential area set in the rolling hills of Newbridge in Caerphilly, Wales. This play project came to fruition due to the lack of outdoor play facilities in the village. In October 2018 Pantside Association of Residents and Tenants (PART) secured £250,000 of National Lottery’s Big Lottery funding to install not one, but two new play areas and a multi-use games area (MUGA) for the whole community to enjoy!
