Developers and architects
We coordinate equipment, safety zones and surfacing-material selection with the wider site plan.
Design
A playground designed around your investment goals
Share the brief, site and budget. We develop the concept by combining catalogue equipment and bespoke elements with selected surfacing materials and a functional layout.
Safe Ground Studio
A design matched to the investment type
A residential site, school, hotel and public park each work differently. We shape the solution around actual use and the client’s responsibilities.
Public bodies and institutions
We organise user needs, accessibility, durability and delivery scope.
Hotels, retail and private venues
We create a distinctive place while protecting function and budget control.
Safe Ground Studio
A design shaped by site and users
We do not start with a random product list. First we establish how the space should work, the constraints and the character of the project.
- 01Site reviewDimensions, access, topography, planting and context.
- 02Play scenarioAge, accessibility, intensity and different activities.
- 03One solutionEquipment, surfaces, furniture and stages of work.
Brief
From a short brief to a clear concept
We start with a site plan or dimensions, user information and priorities. Our designers then develop the layout, material direction and a scope that can be priced.
What the design package can include
- 01Functional planPlay zones, equipment, circulation and rest areas.
- 02Equipment selectionCatalogue products, variants and bespoke equipment.
- 03Surfacing materialsMaterial types, boundaries, colours and coordination with HIC requirements.
- 04Visual directionMaterials and visualisations for client-side decisions.
- 05Delivery scopeClear assumptions for quotation, programme and coordination.
Design
How we develop your project
Discovery
Purpose, site, users and budget framework.
Programme
Functions, age groups, accessibility and intensity.
Concept
Layout, equipment, circulation and first materials.
Review
Options, revisions and client decisions.
Resolution
Surfacing materials, zones, details and a coherent scope.
Delivery preparation
Quotation, responsibilities and the next actions.
Design
The concept can be calm or expressive
The theme follows the setting, budget and user requirements — not the other way round.
Delivery
The design does not end with a visualisation
Before delivery, we review how equipment, base, drainage, surfacing-material selection and work sequence affect one another, turning the concept into a controlled practical scope.

Playground design questions
Can you prepare only the concept?
Yes. The scope may cover a concept, equipment selection or complete preparation and delivery.
Do you design bespoke equipment?
Yes. We develop equipment and themes around the site, user brief, available space and budget.
What do you need to get started?
Ideally a plan or dimensions, site photos, user brief and indicative budget. If something is missing, we will define the next step.
Can catalogue and bespoke elements be combined?
Yes. It is often the best route to cost control and a distinctive character.
You have the site. We will handle the rest.
Equipment, design and delivery, plus a coordinated supply of selected surfacing materials.
