A pioneering play equipment company

“Having experienced problems with wood play equipment rotting and getting slimy in the wet winter months, I was already aware of the benefits of using recycled plastics.  Proper Playground provided a fantastic bespoke playground design using recycled plastics rather than wood.  The design included engravings in Cornish which gave the playground a strong sense of place and cartoon-style fencing to add to the sense of fun.  It was great that a member of the installation team came into school to deliver a free presentation to pupils on the recycling process involved in turning milk cartons into their new playground.”

“We’ve long wanted to reinstate a playground in the village and Simon and his team helped us every step of the way.  The children absolutely love it and it’s become the beating heart of our village.”

“We had used Proper Playgrounds previously on a number of local projects and didn’t hesitate to ask them to tender for a large playpark project which had been a few years in the planning.  We selected Proper Playgrounds as we wanted to use sustainable materials and the lifetime guarantee provided on the recycled posts means that ongoing maintenance costs would be minimised.  Whilst there are other companies that use recycled plastics, we liked the ultra-modern exciting designs of the play towers offered by Proper Playgrounds.  Feedback from the local community has been fantastic as the children love their new play park so we are currently fundraising to buy more pieces.”

“The team helped us choose the play equipment which provided the best value for our budget and the process was extremely positive from start to finish. The team was professional, knowledgeable and provided helpful advice both before and during installation.  The children of the parish were delighted with the final product. We have used this company before and would have no hesitation to use Proper Playgrounds again.”

“I wanted to use a local company and Simon’s team had an installed a play trail made from recycled plastics at a nearby school in Plymouth.  After seeing the play trail which had been in place a couple of years and still looked like new, it seemed an ideal solution for our busy team and it reduced our maintenance costs which can be a drain on school budgets.  The pupils are proud that we chose a ‘green’ option and staff have been able to incorporate the new playground project into the curriculum demonstrating how waste products can be turned into something useful again’.”

“As a school we are increasingly concerned about the environmental impact of our work which is why we were really keen to use Proper Playgrounds. We chose them as they not only provided a complete bespoke solution for our school but they also offered excellent value for money.  Our playground improvement project used 100% recycled plastic and took nearly 2 tons of plastic out of landfill.  The children have been really interested to look at the way recycling has been used to make a fantastic new outside space.”

“The team at Proper Playgrounds were extremely supportive and flexible throughout all the stages of the multi-use games area (MUGA) development, providing valuable specification advice and several design iterations.  They assisted with the community consultation and managed the proposal through full planning permission via the National Parks Authority.  We continue to use their efficient MUGA maintenance service to keep the heavily used pitch in tip-top condition.”

“We wanted to improve the outdoors area of the village hall and Proper Playgrounds suggested a diverse range of options.  We choose playground equipment made from recycled plastics for its green credentials and longevity.   The whole project was carried out with a high level of professionalism and was undertaken safely, which was a key consideration as the site is used as a pre-school.  I would not hesitate to recommend Proper Playgrounds and would definitely use them for any future projects.”
