“I would recommend Playground Centre for any school that is looking to improve their playground area. They were fast to send initial quotes and designs, and happy to relook and adjust numerous times until we had a good balance of our grand ideas and our actual budget! They enabled us to get an amazing result, incorporating some of our existing playground, getting our parent community together to be part of the install and the children to help create their own playground. It was wonderful to see everyone come together and help create this playground. The kids love it.”

Pauatahanui School had a vision for a new junior playground but only had a limited budget. What was needed was an exciting and stimulating area for Years 1 to 4 that offered a range of activities for different skill levels and ages.

Fun Solution
Playground Centre worked with the country school on a farm-themed design. With Years 1 to 4 bringing a range of skills and abilities, the design aimed to provide fun and challenge to the older students while extending others in a safe environment.
Playground Centre worked with us to keep the integrity of initial designs and incorporate as much of our old playground as possible into the mix. This saved us money and delivered a wonderful result. The kids love the hourglass, it’s a huge hit. Using parent labour to help with the build, under the guidance of a Playground Centre professional, was also a great way to lower costs.
