Playforce wins impressive contract to create London playground

Playforce has won a £150,000 contract to create an entire primary school playground in the London borough of Southwark.

Work begins on the project at Friars Primary Foundation School in August – with completion expected in September.

The project has been made possible thanks to a windfall created by Friars selling a house to developers for conversion into flats.The contract will see the Playforce team remove all the school’s existing play equipment and creating new learning and physical zones for the children. These include a nature zone with hexagonal viewing pond, a physical climbing zone, a covered stage area and a creative rainbow coloured wetpour area.

Friars chose Playforce after being impressed with some earlier work the team had carried out, creating a multi-use games area. They were particularly impressed with the new design and loved the way the zones flowed across the playground.
