Playground manufacturer chooses Playtime® Timber fencing for Bognor Regis play park

Background

Children in Bognor Regis have been enjoying the long hot summer thanks to the new free-to-use seafront play area that opened in spring. According to Arun District Council, over 95% of respondents to a public consultation wanted a new facility to be built that could cater for a range of abilities and ages. Arun District Council selected Kompan Ltd, an award-winning playground solutions provider to design and build a new play area. Naturally, the play area needed boundary fencing to ensure children were kept safe and secure while having fun, and parents could keep an eye on their children without interfering.

The playground was designed to encourage children to ‘play, learn and imagine’ and features a sea creatures theme; the choice made by local residents during the consultation. Playground equipment includes playhouses such as the ‘Wizards Hideaway’, sand cranes, a wet pour octopus mound, a double tower bridge, swings, a roundabout and mini zip wire. The play area also includes seating and equipment designed for those with disabilities.

Councillor Phil Hitchins, chairman of the Bognor Regis regeneration sub-committee, said: “I believe that the designs truly reflect what families want to see on the seafront, which is a modern, exciting play area that young people will really enjoy and want to visit over and over again.”
