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.
