Old Times

Playdale Playgrounds Ltd was born in 1978 but the family business dates back to 1735, having passed through nine generations of Croasdales to John and Gill.

There have been many changes to our business over the years as it has progressed from a coopers, hoopers, woodmongers and timber merchants, before evolving into the international playground equipment manufacturing company that it is today.
