Playground Equipment

Broxap’s playground equipment division comprises of two companies; Hand Made Places and Playline Design Limited.

Both companies continuously aim to manufacture high quality play equipment for learning and fun that enhance the play environments and experiences of children. We provide and install recreational equipment providing fun, challenge, exercise and excitement for all. We want to enhance children's learning experience through sensory and imaginative play together with providing inclusive play elements to children with learning difficulties.

Our bespoke play equipment is manufactured in our UK workshops and we also provide a complete ground and play area development service. Maintenance Contracts and Service Contracts are offered for peace of mind and all play equipment and safer surfaces are regulated by BSEN 1176. Our specifically designed timber climbing frames are made to withstand the rigours of playtimes.

Broxap playground equipment divisions can provide Shades and Shelters which come in a variety of sizes and designs and make a peaceful retreat or an exciting environment in which to learn. They are used as story telling areas, outdoor classrooms and performance areas for music and dance. Also, in some instances, funding can be used from school travel plan initiatives, if used as a meeting space for parents.

Our playground equipment also supplies seating solutions and sculptures that encourage both fun and learning, provide an excellent outdoor classroom or story circle.

Our outdoor classrooms provide an opportunity for each and every child to learn and enjoy the process of learning through a natural connection to the outdoors. The outdoor classrooms are designed specifically to provide shelter from the sun, wind and traffic noise.

Musical Play is crucial in children’s development and our musical items help to encourage and motivate a child's playful exploration and interpretation, and understanding of musical sound. Musical playground equipment helps to encourage the development of interactive and inclusive play.

Broxap’s activity centres and climbarounds are designed to offer stimulating and challenging play activities for younger children; where they are strengthening their bodies and minds and developing a sense of independence and accomplishment. This social play opportunity teaches how to communicate, share and take turns.

Play is the language of our children. Our creative play range has been designed to encourage children to use their imagination and to help promote original thinking, flexibility, adaptability, empathy and the ability to generate multiple solutions to a problem.

Playground equipment is not just for fun, but for socialising, health, co-ordination, confidence, adventure and education. Our varieties of construction allow for endless combinations in layout and are designed to develop physical agility and adventurous play. We offer a bespoke design service where together we can create a unique solution to your space requirements and budgets. Our activity centres and climbarounds are designed to offer stimulating and challenging play activities for younger children suitable for Schools environments (Key Stage 1, 2 and 3) and Early Years settings as well as parks, local parishes and family attractions, including theme parks and holiday parks.

Broxap provide playground fencing and we believe that fencing does not need to be seen as a barrier but as a fun dimension to the playground. By using the versatile range of innovative fencing available from Hand Made Places, balance between function and imagination can be achieved. Unlike many fencing enclosures placed around children's play areas, this fencing forms part of the play experience. It is manufactured to the same stringent standards that the play equipment itself is manufactured, with rounded edges and thoroughly prepared timber.

We additionally ensure children’s safety by supplying impact absorbing surfaces which is often required in certain playground environments. Creative use of the surface can enhance the play experience, by utilising a variation of texture and contours, as well as providing an essential safety requirement.

Our activity panels can be incorporated into our play equipment, attached to posts or fixed directly to the wall. Many of our activity panels come as standard on our Special Needs Multiplay units which create further educational stimulation however they are also available to buy separately.

The bright and colourful textures of our finger mazes offer a sensory adventure whilst developing motor neuron skills, such dexterity and hand-eye co-ordination. They make a wonderful addition to any playground area, are visually pleasing and are suitable for special needs. They can make a great starting point for many school projects relating to the particular finger maze you choose.

Broxap’s enormously popular totems, sensory and finger posts may be used in a variety of ways. They make unique class assembly points, help develop orientation skills and can provide an understanding of ones bearing in relation to the environment.

Our Trim Trails, otherwise known as assault courses, activity trails and fitness trails are great for any location, especially schools, public houses, forests or holiday centres. They can be individual, stand-alone pieces forming a "station" or running one after another forming a course and they inspire children to keep active.

Broxap is proud to say we supply imaginative, stimulating and safe outdoor playground equipment to schools, parks, local parishes and family attractions nationwide.
