Limited playground space is a common challenge for many schools across Australia. How can you maximise engagement, activity, and inclusivity when your outdoor area is tight?

Restricted square meterage doesn’t have to mean restricted play opportunities or compromised developmental benefits for your students.

WillPlay’s innovative PlayPark range offers the perfect solution. Designed with flexibility at its core, PlayPark is a modular system. This means our experienced design team can alter configurations and select components to perfectly fit your school’s unique footprint, cleverly working around awkward shapes, slopes, or existing obstacles.

While PlayPark structures are modular, sometimes space is super tight. For these situations, our Sensory items and Littlies Panels offer excellent solutions. The Sensory range stimulates engagement without needing much room, while the Littlies Panels provide valuable ground-level tactile and imaginative play, effectively using even awkward or narrow areas.

Make the most of existing spaces like sandpits by adding a Sand Play System. You can rejuvenate areas you already have by adding in elements that can elevate the area, such as WillPlay’s diggers or Sand Play tables and scoops.

Each of these approaches helps create vibrant, inclusive plays paces supporting student learning and wellbeing.

Whether needing a PlayPark system, Sand play elements, Sensory items, or Littlies Panels, WillPlay has options for all spaces, shapes, and abilities.
