As we launch our brand new ‘Plus’ Towers and enter into the next generation of high-rise play, we thought that we would take a trip down memory lane and take a look at how our legendary towers have evolved over time.

Playgrounds today look quite different from playgrounds of the past. Children can now benefit from various playground equipment that has been devised to either exercise parts of their body or inspire imaginative play. Most playgrounds have towers with bridges, nets, climbing walls and poles with a slide coming off the side. Traditional playground equipment still exists in playgrounds today but they look very different to the swings and roundabouts of the past.

Remember those wonderful days of your childhood where you would spend hours in the playground swinging as high as you could pretending that you could fly? Now that you accompany your own children to the playground do you ever wonder what the benefits of learning to swing is and why we enjoy it so much?

Pupils of St. Johns C of E Primary School in Colchester, Essex, are delighted that they have got some exciting new play equipment to play on at break times.

Children in Chichester have had some fantastic new play equipment to kick off their new school year.

We have just completed a new play area for Sainsbury’s at their brand new multi-million pound Superstore in Portswood, Southampton.
