Don’t Let a Small Budget or Space Result in a Boring Playground!

Small doesn’t have to mean boring

Everyone loves generous budgets and unrestricted space when creating a new play area, however, in reality, this is most often not the case. We believe that even if play spaces do have limited budgets or space, they should never be uninteresting and disengaging.

Designing a play space with limited budget or space can be a challenge, and often requires extensive thought around prioritising play elements so that the space provides sufficient play value for the users. Often it is the simple things that can make a small space inviting, for example, selecting an inviting colour scheme, choosing equipment that suits the surrounding environment and using economical natural elements to complement the play equipment. Our ability to design and manufacture equipment to suit specific project requirements is a key factor in ensuring that space and budget are used wisely.

Below are several small play spaces completed by adventure+ in conjunction with Landscape Architects and Councils over the past several years.
