A brand-new community deserves a brilliant place to play—and that’s exactly what Proludic has delivered at Springstead Village, Cambridge. As part of an exciting new housing development by Bellway Homes, Proludic has created a stunning play space that not only entertains children but enhances the whole neighbourhood.

Springstead Village is a thoughtfully designed residential community on the outskirts of Cambridge, offering high-quality homes and beautiful green spaces. With first-time buyers, families, and commuters calling it home, the development needed a play area that was safe, inclusive, and in harmony with its natural looking crafted surroundings.

Designed for Fun, Built for the Future

Proludic worked closely with landscape architects, safety consultants, and local planners to ensure the play space met the highest standards. Featuring a mix of exciting equipment—including swings, balance trails, and a seesaw—the play area caters to toddlers, juniors, and teens. Using eco-friendly materials and soft-fall surfacing ensures safety and sustainability go hand in hand. But it’s not just about the play equipment. The space is designed to be a social hub where families can connect, neighbours can meet, and children can enjoy the freedom of outdoor play.


A Seamless Fit with Nature

One of the standout features of the Springstead Village play area is its ability to blend seamlessly with the sympathetically planted landscape. Proludic’s Origin’ range, crafted from Robinia wood, complements the development’s natural aesthetic. Combined with soft earthy tones in the surfacing and extensive planting, the playground feels like an organic extension of its surroundings.


A Community Favourite

Since its completion, the play space has quickly become a favourite among residents. A post completion site survey shows that the vast majority of local families love the new facility, praising its engaging design and role in bringing the community together. Parents appreciate the clear sightlines for supervision, while children can’t get enough of the exciting play features.


Setting the Standard for Housebuilder Playgrounds

With an £80,000 investment in high-quality, sustainable play, Bellway Homes and Proludic have set a new benchmark for play spaces in residential developments. This project demonstrates how thoughtful design can add real value to a new community, making it a model for future housebuilder playgrounds moving forward.
