Our team was commissioned by a local study centre to upgrade an outdoor play area. The client requested the removal of existing equipment and the installation of a bespoke traverse wall designed to fit an “earthquake” theme, creating an engaging and imaginative climbing feature for children. The objective was to deliver a creative, safe, and visually striking piece of play equipment that encouraged climbing, problem-solving, and imaginative play.
