Mersey Primary Academy has become the place of adventure and outdoor education.
Filled to the brim with exciting features, this natural playground design will keep early years children entertained all day long!
Although there is much fun to be had within this space, the elements included are also extremely beneficial for early years education.
The elements inside this playground include role play, water play, physical play, construction play and more.
Aside from the elements of play, there is also an area offering the opportunity to sit down and read or write. This space will be great for teachers to take lesson time outdoors!
The layout of this playground offers a large, minimalistic playing space in the centre, surrounded by timber play resources and playground equipment along the edges.
As you can see, the large central spot is filled with artificial grass; suitable for spaces that are intensively used. Artificial grass is fantastic for early years education, as it provides a cushioned surface, reducing the risk of injury for children.
This grass has been left completely empty, except for an existing climbing prism, and also some new timber resources, situated underneath the NASH shelter.
Surrounding the grass, you will find a water play section, featuring a water play stream. Designed with longevity in mind, our streams offer the opportunity to engage in water play activities for years to come!
Towards one end of the playground, we incorporated a bespoke playhouse/outdoor classroom, suitable to hold a large group of children!
Leading up to the playhouse, we added a timber boardwalk and bridge, that runs above part of the water play stream, allowing children to see the play space from a different point of view.
Also featured on this decking, you will find some timber stools and a mounted chalkboard. This little space offers children a chance to break away from the rest of the playground, to read, write and relax.
There are many fantastic features incorporated into this natural playground design. The main aim of the project was to enhance outdoor learning through play for early years education, and we think we’ve succeeded, don’t you?
