Housing Development Play Areas
Playgrounds for Housing Estates and New Developments
Outdoor play areas are essential features in modern housing developments, providing safe, engaging spaces for families and adding value to new communities. At Absolute Play we work with developers, housing associations and councils to design and install playgrounds that meet planning requirements while creating attractive, family-friendly neighbourhoods.
Why Developers Choose Playgrounds
-
Meet planning obligations such as Section 106 or CIL requirements.
-
Increase property appeal by creating family-friendly amenities.
-
Support community building by giving children and families a place to meet.
-
Provide safe, durable play spaces that reflect well on the development.
A high-quality playground is not just a tick-box exercise for planning — it’s a visible commitment to building better communities.
Equipment for Housing Developments
We specialise in timber playgrounds that blend naturally into green spaces. Popular equipment for new estates includes:
-
Swings, slides and climbing frames — compact but durable structures.
-
Trim trails and activity circuits — encouraging physical activity for children of all ages.
-
Inclusive equipment — ensuring accessibility within mixed communities.
-
Natural play features — mounds, boulders and landscaping that create unique play environments.

Safety and Durability
