Notts Sport was approached in 2019 by the London Borough of Lambeth to provide a safety surfacing system that would withstand a heavy footfall for the play area within the Jubilee Gardens, which was originally designed to commemorate the Queens Silver Jubilee.
Based on the South Bank with the iconic London Eye as its backdrop, and the Palace of Westminster just a stones throw away, the playground within the Jubilee Gardens is a fabulous area for children to enjoy with trim trails, swings and slides.
Repairing the original base where required, the approved contractors were able to quickly install an overlay with the Notts Sport ChildsPlay impact absorbing system.
Providing a safe and aesthetically pleasing finish to this iconic playground, giving tourists and local families time out from a busy area of London.
Libby, a tourist from Northern California said “One of the best, most interesting playgrounds I’ve seen. All the kids there seemed to be having a great time, and it was a life-saver for us needing to have a break from sight seeing and allow the children to run off steam.”
The surface and underlying elements of the popular ChildsPlay system combine to offer a playground that is clean and quick-draining after rain, and resistant to cutting, fire and graffiti. ChildsPlay can include varying levels of shock absorbent layering beneath the VHAF NottsSward artificial turf, offering critical fall height protection of up to three metres.
The synthetic VHAF NottsSward turf carpet is available in 15 colours, offering unlimited potential for patterns and games, and can be laid over shapes, mounds and hollows.
Whatever colour or form it takes, the textured, tactile carpet also has great sensory appeal.
