Proludic has been chosen by the housing developers Redrow Homes to fulfil the large Garden Village play project. Using sustainable Robinia wood for playground equipment and vibrant, innovative design, our installation team transformed the area with multiple play zones.
Woodford Garden Village is an innovative new development in the heart of Cheshire. Based at the historic former aerodrome at Woodford, the development lies near Wilmslow, Poynton and Bramhall and is within commuting distance of Central Manchester.
Redrow Homes built tis 300+ development over 3 phases due to its size. Therefore, it had to accommodate numerous play areas to meet government obligations for these community facilities. Proludic drawings and their vast product portfolio surpassing 1300 pieces of equipment helped to deliver these schemes for Redrow.
The site requried a mix of six LAPs (Local Area for Play) and LEAPs (Local Equipped Area for Play). LAPs are open spaces within walking distance from homes designed for supervised and unsupervised play. LEAPs are similar, with a range of play equipment for unsupervised play among early school-aged children. Council guidelines outline the importance of providing these spaces in new developments to encourage outdoor activity and community stimulation.
One of the biggest play areas on the main Village Green utilised Proludic’s wooden range of play equipment- Origin’. We took inspiration from the local aerodrome for the wetpour design including a huge propeller turning inlaid in the design. One of the smaller LAPs included numerous play panels. One of these was tic-tac-toe, to keep younger children amused and seating for adults to take a much needed break.
We are very proud of how all the play areas look. We always try to offer cost saving suggestions that do not compromise the quality, for what is a high specification development. Everything went as planned and we received a strong endorsement from the client that we would be recommended to their colleagues in other offices
