Play Areas

Play Areas are ESSENTIAL for any toddler or child’s development.

No village green, public park, motorway service station, school development, or family tourist attraction would be complete without a children’s play area.

Play Areas

Parents, developers, architects and planners have grown to expect to see a children’s play area in residential developments, community centres, public parks, family entertainment areas and affordable housing schemes.

They are even required by law in many residential planning designs.

Whatever the purpose or premise of design in a proposed new play area, Mclays will be able to help as we stock the most comprehensive range of play and sports equipment to suit any individual budget.

Our after-sales installation, parts and maintenance schemes offer designers and planners that extra peace of mind from a company with a vast amount of experience in this specialist field.

We also offer planners and buyers a GUIDE to the SIX ACRE STANDARD: (Playground Provision and Section 106 of the Town and Country Planning Act), and the individual categories of play areas:

LAP, LEAP, NEAP

In inner city and urban development schemes - and in rural developments - we very often find today a ‘play area’ is a mandatory part of the planned development. Our parent company - Wickstead Leisure - have some 85 years’ continual experience in the design and manufacture of playgrounds, and contributes on behalf of the UK to the formulation and implementation of British and European Safety Standards aligned to Play Areas.
