Gedling Country Park, Nottinghamshire

Proludic installed a bespoke, state of the art country park play facility for Gedling Borough Council. This development, complete with a range of active play and multiplay equipment has been successful in putting Gedling firmly on the map.

The project cost £200,000 and featured an all-natural Robinia wood multi-play component for a natural feel to the country park. This play structure goes alongside the impressive central mining-inspired bespoke play tower. It has become one of the most popular parks in the region and looks as fantastic today as it did when it was first built.

Proludic’s in-house Senior Landscape Architect, Jen Tindsley took a lead role in designing this site. The play area incorporates the park’s mining heritage with a bespoke rustic mining tower, mining train and ‘old pit’ grasslands”, preserving the park’s history. This unique, themed play design was made custom by the Proludic team to connect play to the local area and history. Local council playgrounds are important to preserve heritage and communicate it in a new, fun way to the community.

Everyone at Proludic has been extremely excited to work on a project so close to our offices which our children will also play on. From the initial concept and sketch designs through the whole build process, we have endeavoured to create a space that not only has a tangible link to the heritage of Gedling Country Park, but does so in a sympathetic way to the surrounding environment. The finished site will be a huge asset not only to the local community but will also attract visitors from the whole of Nottinghamshire.

Adam Dickerson, Commercial Manager for Proludic

We are very proud to be providing our residents with this excellent play area that children will enjoy for many years to come. It will make what is already a destination Country Park even better and puts us firmly on the map.
