A new adventure is coming to Teignmouth Road, Portsmouth! 🎉

We were recently awarded the project to bring this exciting new play space to life for Portsmouth Council.

Designed for children aged 2–14+, the proposed playground is packed with opportunities to climb, swing, slide, spin, explore and let imaginations run wild.

With over 50 new play features planned, the design aims to offer something for a wide range of ages and abilities, giving more children the opportunity to play, explore and enjoy time together.

We can’t wait to see this project progress! ✨
