Project Playgrounds: Champions of Safe, Inspiring Outdoor Play

At Project Playgrounds, we believe every child deserves a safe, stimulating, and joyful place to play. As a specialist supplier and installer of the UK’s finest playground markings, we’ve built our business around one core mission: to turn every school’s outdoor space into a vibrant, secure environment that promotes active play, learning, and well-being.

Our work is about more than colourful lines on tarmac. It’s about creating safe zones for children to explore, express themselves, build confidence, and most importantly—have fun. Whether we’re installing classic games, sensory trails, road safety zones, or bespoke learning-based designs, we approach every project with one priority: child safety.

More Than Just Markings: Why Safety Is At The Heart of What We Do

We understand that school playgrounds are high-traffic, high-energy spaces where accidents can happen in seconds. That’s why our team is obsessed with the detail—because great design prevents risk.

Our thermoplastic markings are manufactured to industry-leading standards, using premium materials that are non-toxic, anti-slip, durable, and compliant with all relevant health and safety regulations. Unlike paint, our markings don’t fade quickly or become slippery in wet conditions, reducing the risk of slips, trips, and falls over time.

We also work closely with safeguarding and facilities teams to identify areas of concern within a school’s outdoor environment. From clearly defined game zones and walking routes to calm corners and sensory spaces, we ensure every element is not just engaging—but strategically placed to enhance flow, reduce congestion, and support pupil safety.

Experience That Makes A Difference

With years of hands-on experience across hundreds of schools, academies, nurseries, and councils, the Project Playgrounds team knows what works—and what doesn’t. Our fitters are highly trained specialists who understand the unique pressures of working in live school environments. They’re used to working efficiently, discreetly, and respectfully—often during holidays or off-peak hours—to minimise disruption to your day-to-day operations.

But it’s not just about the install. What sets us apart is our ability to collaborate, problem-solve, and bespoke every project to reflect the school’s vision, values, and practical needs. No two playgrounds are the same, and we never treat them as such. From tiny village primaries to sprawling urban academies, we approach each space with fresh eyes and a creative mindset.

Bespoke Designs That Support Play, Learning & Inclusion

Every school has its own rhythm, culture, and curriculum priorities. That’s why we don’t offer a one-size-fits-all solution. Instead, we work closely with your team to co-create playground markings that reflect your pupils’ needs—academically, physically, and emotionally.

Want a numeracy trail to support early maths? We’ve got it. Need an SEN-friendly sensory path with calming visuals and textured play? Consider it done. Looking for a creative way to reinforce road safety or encourage positive behaviour during breaktimes? That’s our sweet spot.

Our in-house design team can also adapt colours, themes, and layouts to support specific goals—be that improving physical fitness, tackling lunchtime behaviour, or encouraging inclusive play across age groups and abilities.

Project Playgrounds is proud to be the trusted choice for schools, councils, MATs, and early years providers across the UK. Our clients choose us not just for the quality of our products, but for the quality of our partnership. We’re easy to work with, transparent in our pricing, and obsessed with getting it right.
