The playground beside the sanctuary, ready for its upgrade.
The upgrade
The playground is in daily use. The upgrade replaces the current frames with galvanised equipment built to last, adds two new pieces, and lays a rubber safety surface under all of it — sized for the school as it grows.
- Two swing frames
- A slide frame, ready for a new deck
- A see-saw
- An open play area, ready for a safety surface
What they play on, and what they land on
Neither half needs the other. Surfacing the yard makes everything already standing in it safer; new equipment on a surfaced yard completes it.
What they play on
Hidden — sign in to see the figures
Five pieces of galvanised equipment — three that carry on from what is standing there now, and two that are new to the school.
What they land on
Hidden — sign in to see the figures
80 m² of rubber crumb across the fall zone, on a base that drains, plus the footings that hold every frame in it.

Costed, and waiting its turn. These open for giving as the work in front of them is paid for.
What they land on
- Rubber crumb safety surfacing — 80 m² of fall zone
- Installation — concrete footings and fitting

Still needed for all of it

What the whole job comes to
The job splits in two and each half stands on its own: the equipment the children play on, and the ground they land on. The line-by-line estimate behind these totals is shared with partners who take on part of the work rather than published here.

Give the children a safe place to play
The whole job is Hidden — sign in to see the figures, and nothing has to arrive all at once — Hidden — sign in to see the figures surfaces the yard on its own.
