We’ve won awards for our playground design for public spaces thanks to our unique approach to creative playscapes.
We know that playgrounds for public, unmanaged spaces need to be safe, engaging, robust and serve their communities.
We’re experienced in creating bespoke, original, sustainable playgrounds that provide rich, creative, engaging play for youngsters and we back that play design experience with end-to-end service designing, manufacturing and installing your playground, making it as simple as possible.
We know that you don’t want an ‘everyday play space’. TouchWood playgrounds are special. We know how to make things unique. Beautiful. Memorable. Instagram-worthy. Something to talk about.
Nothing is off the shelf. We constantly innovate, creating new and special features that will make your play equipment unique.
Our focus is on the natural play. Contact with the wood, water, and sand. Touch. Feel. Explore. Dare. Experiment.
Working with us, you know you are also investing in a sustainable product and supporting creativity, craftsmanship and using natural materials that are mostly sourced in the UK.
Whether you need to get your funding and want an idea of cost, or you have funding and need to get as much play value into a space as possible for that budget, we know how to help you.
Our approach is unique. We design each project from scratch in close collaboration with each client, and often with the active input of children and your community members.
We want to understand what you want to achieve, what kind of play you want to encourage, your commercial objectives and the personality and subtleties of your project environment.
We work with budgets of all sizes, but typically we work on projects that cost £30,000+.
Our concept design team can quickly help you explore pricing, themes and play value on a call. Our designs are bespoke and no two are the same. Whether you’re a school or a world class leisure park, we can quickly come up with some ideas to support your project.
Get in touch with our Concept Design team. Then, development, site survey, collaborative design, and pricing assurance.
Technical design and pre-manufacture; we send technical drawings for you to sign off and we start pre-manufacturing at the wood yard.
Installation and sign-off -with as many pre-manufactured items as possible we install. Then our independent play safety inspector signs off the play area.
After-sales and maintenance support -we will issue you with a detailed operation and maintenance manual, a technical handover, and the option of our maintenance service packages.
“Since Touchwood Play installed our new play equipment, we’ve noticed a huge difference at playtime. Children are much happier and really enjoy playing together more.” 
“Touchwood have created something special to help children learn through active play. William's Den inspires and challenges children with a natural play experience, giving them freedom and space to play inside and out, whatever the weather. It's the stuff our childhood memories are made from.” 
“Their drive for sustainable design, whilst creating an Oasis of Joy for children, makes their product quite unique and bespoke” 
“Working closely with the team at Touchwood Play has brought our vision and ideas into reality... children and families are thrilled with the wonderful equipment we now have.” 
“Joe and his team are completely immersed in creating wonderful and exciting play experiences with wood being the core building material. Their bespoke approach to each project delivers unique one off experiences; they are not a ‘pick it from a catalogue’ company.” 
“We were very satisfied with the whole process from design through to completion and beyond. Touchwood engaged parents, staff and children. We cannot reccomend them highly enough” 
“Our experience of working with Touchwood has been nothing but positive. The playground that we now have is unique to us and the space that we asked you to fill.
