Hackleton Play Area - Hackleton Parish Council / 2

Our Aim - Robyn Brookes

We are very happy to present your new play area for Hackleton Recreation Ground. Our intention has been to create an imaginative playspace that fits in with the rural village location and offers children progressive play opportunities as they grow. To achieve this, we have designed a scheme with a variety of play experiences for toddlers all the way through to teens. The equipment colours will be muted and the rubber mulch safety surfacing combines a mix of natural green, brown and beige. There will be a subtle nature theme to the equipment itself with several of the items featuring insects which children may have come across in the natural world. Your improved play area offers physical, sensory and social play value for children with a wide range of abilities. Children can participate in play experiences such as, balancing, climbing, crawling, jumping, rotating, rocking, sliding, spinning, and swinging at a level they feel comfortable with. You will also have items specifically designed for inclusive play such as, the basket swing, satellite carousel, little beetle spring rocker with back support, sensory butterfly unit and interactive play panels. Leading to the play panels and through the play equipment is a DDA compliant path allowing access for wheelchair users and pushchairs. The design divides your playground into three areas, the toddler play provision, the junior play provision and an area of open grassland. Your new toddler area will be fully resurfaced, eradicating the need to mow any grass within the fence line and therefore reducing ongoing maintenance. The equipment within the fenced toddler area will include a spinning carousel, a toddler multiplay unit, a sensory play butterfly unit, and two spring rockers. Outside of the fence line we have included two toddler swings which are separated from the junior area with a landscaped mound. On the other side of this you will find the main junior play area. The praying mantis feature play unit we have chosen gives the playground the WOW factor and a large slide offers multiple climbing opportunities of differing challenge. In addition to the main unit, we have included a zip wire, 2 junior swings, a basket swing, interactive play panels, and refurbishment of the 3 play items requested. Your new playground will be highly durable and low ongoing maintenance. To reduce this maintenance, we have grouped areas of surfacing and removed any small areas of grass dividing them, in the toddler area surfacing the whole space inside the fence. The material specification for the equipment is predominantly metal with small elements in HDPE, LDPE and HPL.

In summary, Hackleton’s new Play Area will be a unique and exciting space for the local community to enjoy. If you have any questions about the play area please do not hesitate to contact me.

This is NOT a construction drawing 2. Images shown are for layout purposes only and may differ from actual product supplied. 3. All installation measurments should be taken from the supplied installation instructions 4. Any discrepancy found between information shown and measurments taken from site should be reported to eibe immediatley 5. Full area measurments are to be checked before installation can proceed 6. Check foundation level requirements for each item GENERAL NOTES If not indicated on this plan, north point must be confirmed prior to installation to ensure that slides do not face due south. Exact positions & orientation of new items may be subject to a final site survey and setting out plan. Any inconsistencies on site should be verified with eibe before commencement of work. eibe recommend that existing trees are risk-assessed by the client to ensure the integrity of accessible branches, that overhanging limbs do not conflict with new play equipment or vehicle access and that the canopy will not produce excessive leaf drop which could cause a hazard within the play area. This design layout conforms to the relevant EN Safety Standard. GRASS & GRASS MAT SURFACING Where equipment is installed directly into grass and the free height of fall is between 0.6m and 1.5m it is the responsibility of the playground operator to ensure that the grass sward is maintained in good order. Where equipment is installed with grass mat surfacing it is the responsibility of the playground operator to ensure that the grass is maintained in good order. When laid directly onto existing grass this surface will follow the natural contours of the ground. RUBBER MULCH SURFACING eibe recommend the use of a 50mm stone base when installing rubber mulch. If installed without the finished surface will be a reflection of the ground beneath it, following any undulations, & will not be a completely flat surface. Rubber mulch will not cure any existing drainage problems & will require foundations and/or some kind of drainage system prior to installation.

Jubilee Park is situated in the heart of Waterlooville, Hants, and is a well-used and loved playing field. The playing fields are often used for community events and are also home to a MUGA, Skate Park and numerous sports clubs such as Bowls and Cricket. Havant Borough Council has previously preferred to use metal play equipment for their play spaces due to past experiences using timber. However, in 2021 eibe Play arranged site visits of three play spaces around Fareham with the Park Officers for Havant Borough Council. Fareham Borough Council installed these play spaces over two years, which previously had the same opinion. All three of these destinations play spaces have been

a great success and changed Fareham Borough Councils’ mindset on the quality and durability of timber play equipment. After visiting these play areas with eibe Play and speaking to the council members from Fareham Borough Council, the council saw the quality. It felt the durability was suitable for both parties to feel confident enough for eibe Play to tender for any of their play area refurbishment schemes. A few months passed, and then eibe Play received the tender paperwork for the exciting redevelopment of the Jubilee Park Play Area. We were highly excited to tender for this scheme, and after a site visit, to better understand the requirements and the playing space as a whole, eibe Play started the design stage of the tender submission. We felt this play area, especially the local community, deserved a WOW factor play area to fit in with the destination feel for the rest of the park. This was at the forefront of our minds with the initial design work. We also thought that the play area needed to represent elements of the nature found around the park, which would help with the theme of the play area and educate the local children. However, this can be seen

all around the play area, with the theming within the wet pour surface. The play area also needed to be inclusive and include play equipment that children of all abilities can use. The play equipment eibe Play has chosen for this play space included elements designed for reasonable access for all users; however, it also allowed all children to play together without being singled out. This can be seen in particular with the inclusion of the Inclusive Floor Roundabout and the Play Unit Lauren which has an accessible ramp leading up to the main platform, surrounded by play panels. Another critical factor when designing any play space is accessibility for all users. Therefore, we have created all the play equipment accessible via a hard-standing surface. Which also helps the equipment to be used all year round. In February 2022, eibe Play was excited to hear the news that we had been awarded the contract for the refurbishment of Jubilee Park Play Area. The work commenced in April 2022, with a predicted finish date of the May bank holiday weekend. With much hard work, we managed to meet this deadline, where

the play area was opened to many excited children keen to use the great new play equipment the play space had to offer. eibe Play was keen to support the council and the Friends of the Park group to create a grand opening worthy of this great new play space. Therefore, eibe Play donated balloons, ribbons, bunting and goodie bags for the first children to use the play area. Eibe Play is looking forward to a fantastic working relationship with Havant Borough Council to ensure the play space is a success and well-loved by the local community for years to come.

Adur and Worthing Council and eibe Play share a fantastic relationship and have previously worked on various play spaces across Worthing, including Tarring Park and Gull Island. The play area is located right next to a primary school and surrounded by residential streets, so it is a popular destination for the local community. Families frequently use the fields surrounding the play area for picnics, dogwalkers and community events. The design brief from the council was to ensure the play areawas accessible for all and to include play features for children aged 2-12 years old. Due to the extremely high water table on site, the council also wanted to ensure that the play area was accessible all year round. They also wanted to ensure easy access for prams and wheelchairs throughout the play space. Due to the play areas’ extreme proximity to the seafront, eibe Play chose to go with a sea theme throughout. They also took elements of their existing catalogue and adapted them to fit the play space’s theme. For example, specific play panels and slides were manufactured to be blue to help support this theme. The pathway leading to the play space was also given a makeover, with a brand new wet pour surface leading from one gate to another. When designing the play space, eibe Play wanted to include the right amount of play value and features for children of all ages. For example, toddlers need to discover and test themselves on a climbing unit that offers them various play opportunities, such as climbing and sliding. This, in some instances, will be their first experience of climbing and sliding, therefore developing essential skills such as lower and upper body coordination. For this, we chose our Play Unit K2, which we dressed up to resemble a seaside cottage. Once they grow older and want to develop their skills further, they can move on to our adapted Climbing Unit, Ben Nevis, which has various challenging crossings and ways to get off and onto the unit. It also has an excellent and unique Broad Slide. The Ben Nevis is designed for children aged 5 to 12 years. Surrounding these fantastic items, eibe Play chose various other challenging and fun play options such as the Stand Up Carousel, Fisher Rockers, Snake Swing and multiple swings. Eibe Play needed to design this space as inclusive as possible. To help aid this already fully accessible play space, eibe Play included their brand new Wheelchair Seesaw. This, as well as the Broad Slide, various sea-themed play panels and the eibe Nest Swing seat, eibe Play believe they have chosen the right amount of play equipment that makes this play space accessible for all.

As previously mentioned, the play area’s safer surfacing has been designed to ensure it’s fully accessible all year round. This was a significant part of their design thinking process. The design includes an entire wet pour surface laid over the existing surfacing in most areas. This allows us to provide an environmentally friendly option, as there will be no to take materials off-site for refuge. This follows eibe Plays, environmentally green ethos. After the council went through a consultation stage with the local community,eibe Play was privileged to be awarded the play area refurbishment contract. They quickly engaged with the council o refine the play equipment chosen, and after a couple of minor amendments, the manufacturing of the equipment commenced. The play area was opened by the council in time to be enjoyed by the children over a gloriously sunny winter’s weekend, and the initial feedback we have received has been very positive. eibe Play hope that Larkfield Play Area will be loved and well- used by local children for years to come!

Cardiff Council contracted eibe play Ltd to provide a replacement multi-play unit in Heath Park, which had sustained severe and unrepairable damage through anti-social behaviour. The existing play unit, installed by eibe play 15 years ago, was a well-known attraction within Heath Park, with the council wishing to replace it with a similar statement item of play. Working with the Council, a new, improved multi-play unit, The Extron, featuring multiple accents, descents, climbing and balancing challenges, was decided upon as the ideal replacement unit. Designed for junior age groups six years +, The Extron provides multiple challenges and play values, at height and on the ground, to allow children to build confidence in their abilities. To enhance the equipment further and prevent future damage from anti-social behaviour, it was agreed that eibe would supply the unit with steel powder- coated posts. Installation involved the removal of the original existing bark safety surface to allow the removal of the actual play unit and its foundations. Our local installation team laid new foundations, and the new Extron unit, the original bark safety surface, was re used.

HDPE

High Density Polyethylene

HDPE

• UV stabilized for fade resistant outdoor use • Will not rot, delaminate, splinter or crack • Stain and graffiti resistant for easy cleaning

• Durable orange peel textured finish • Moisture and chemical resistant • High impact resistant • 100% recyclable and non toxic • Easily machined and engraved • No heavy metals • No phthalates

High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) sheets are extruded and co-extruded thermoplastic materials that are used worldwide in the manufacture of panels and components for the Playground, Sport, Leisure and Recreation Industries. The versatile properties of this material, including UV stability, make it resistant to fading, moisture, weather, stain and graffiti. The perfect choice for outdoor environments. HDPE is easily routed or engraved using current CNC technology, in the case of 2-colour sheet options, you can remove the outer colour and revealing the colour inside to create almost unlimited design capabilities. Increasingly used across a wide range of industries and applications, HDPE panels are being used to replace timber and composite panel components. Whilst the initial cost of these materials may be lower, the long-termmaintenance requirements and shorter life expectancy make their choice a false economy. HDPE also offered as softer, warmer and more play friendly feel to it. In addition to all the product and user benefits, HDPE is 100% recyclable

Surfacing Rubber Bonded

Tested and compliant with EN1177 (certificate available upon request) Rubber Bonded Mulch is:

• Highly Slip Resistant • Fire Retardant • Impact Absorbing • Porous • High Durable • Versatile • Colour Variations (allowing for Theming and to suite the site context)

Rubber Mulch - A unique process that starts with recycling solid rubber that otherwise would go to landfill; consistent control of this process provides us with a carefully blended flat shred, which is then coloured with our unique encapsulation process that not only gives us a natural looking surface, but one that is soft and flexible, long lasting and bonds perfectly. Binder - A specially developed PU binder that is designed to work in cooperation with the shred size, the colouring process, and the requirements of a strong, yet flexible bond. This mixture is then simply spread out with a trowel. As this bonded shred system is self-supporting it requires no digging of foundations and the lack of large or heavy equipment makes it cost effective for even small or difficult access areas. Moreover it will easily work directly onto almost any existing ground conditions including grass or soil, old tiles or wet pour, crushed aggregate or concrete; it will follow the natural sloping contours of the ground and / or absorb undulations and can even be spread directly over tree roots and around plants.

Brightening up older play units Repainting

Older metal play equipment may look out of date or have a requirement to be replaced, however if the structure is still sound and the inspection report states it meets the requirement of BSEN1176 it might be well worth keeping it in place and giving it a new lease of life with a fresh coat of paint. When done corectly it could give the item of play another 10 years of life. Our Process Paint children’s playground equipment with lead-free paint to prevent lead poisoning. Children’s metal playground sets are typically constructed of galvanized steel to prevent rusting. Before painting playground equipment, carefully inspect the equipment and make needed repairs. Because welding melts the zinc coating of the galvanized steel, properly prepare any newly welded areas before painting. Check wooden playground sets for splinters and make the proper repairs before painting. Select paint for use on playground equipment carefully. Ask your paint dealer for advice. Follow manufacturer’s instructions carefully. Painting Metal Playground Equipment Step 1 Restore zinc coating to any welds made to repair play equipment. Sandblast or wire brush the weld to remove slag, then coat the welded area with a zinc-rich paint. Zinc-rich paint is available in spray cans or containers for brush painting. Step 2 Clean the play equipment with warm, soapy water. Use a terry cloth rag to wash all surfaces. Make certain to remove all dirt and grease. Rinse thoroughly with clear water. Step 3 Allow the metal play equipment to dry thoroughly. Joints between metal pipes and bars take longer to dry. Make certain all surfaces are completely dry before proceeding. Step 4 Sand all surfaces using 280- to 320-grit sandpaper. Wipe surfaces with a clean cloth to remove paint dust. Using the correct sandpaper here will give you the best finish. Step 5 Apply a thin primer to ensure a good paint bond. Follow manufacturer’s instructions to brush or spray the primer onto play equipment surfaces. Step 6 Paint with exterior-grade, lead-free paint. Follow manufacturer’s instructions. A few coats may be required, this will be depanent on the choen colour.
