Playground Design

Designing playgrounds is where our creativity truly comes alive. At GL Jones Playgrounds, we combine imagination, experience, and a deep understanding of how children play to create spaces that feel exciting from the moment you step into them. Every design starts with one simple question: how can we make this playground a place children love to explore?

We make sure each play area offers something for everyone — from little ones discovering their confidence to older children looking for a challenge. Accessibility, variety, and thoughtful layout all play a big part in our process, helping us shape playgrounds that are fun, inclusive, and full of opportunities for adventure.

Our design team is passionate about staying ahead of industry trends and safety standards. They work closely with our manufacturing and installation teams to ensure every idea is brought to life with care, quality, and consistency. Together, we create playgrounds that don’t just look great, they feel great to play in.

Playground Product Design

Our playground product designers are bursting with creativity and it’s this blend of imagination and expertise that helps GL Jones Playgrounds lead the way in innovative play. We love pushing boundaries and introducing fresh, original ideas to the industry. Many try to imitate our designs, but the magic behind them is something that simply can’t be duplicated.

To bring these ideas to life, we use the latest computer‑aided design technology, making sure every detail is carefully considered. This means every piece of equipment is crafted to give children a safe, exciting, and memorable play experience.

The skill and vision of our design team allow us to create standout pieces of play equipment that add character, fun, and quality to any playground.

Playground Manufacturing

Creating playgrounds is what we love most — and it shows in every piece of equipment we make. Our team blends creativity, craftsmanship, and a genuine passion for play to design equipment that’s colourful, exciting, long‑lasting, and always safe. We take real pride in knowing that the playgrounds we build today will be enjoyed by children for many years to come, in complete confidence and safety.

Safety starts at the very first stage: manufacturing. That’s why we use high‑quality, durable metalwork throughout our products and follow strict industry standards. Every item we produce is manufactured and installed to BS EN 1176 where possible, giving you peace of mind that your playground meets recognised safety requirements.

Playground Installations

When it comes to installing playgrounds, we believe the process should be just as smooth and enjoyable as the final result. We’re incredibly proud of the equipment we make, and we’re just as committed to installing it with care, precision, and a smile.

Our nationwide installation team is full of experienced, friendly professionals who know how to bring a playground to life safely and efficiently. We make sure every piece of equipment is installed to the European Safety Standard BS EN 1176 where possible, because children deserve spaces that feel safe as well as fun.

We also offer a variety of safety surfacing options, all installed to meet the UK standard for impact‑absorbing surfaces, BS EN 1177. Whether you’re creating a brand‑new play area or refreshing an existing one, we’re here to help you build a space that’s ready for endless adventures.
