Huck’s Play Equipment brings new life to derelict playground
Huck Play, a Division of Huck Nets UK Ltd based in Bridport, has recently designed, supplied and installed a new play area in the village of Portesham in West Dorset. The playground had been derelict for many years but thanks to several years of hard fundraising by people in the village it is now once more a playground that the Village and local children can be proud of. The Village raised £3000 from local fundraising and donations and eventually managed to secure funds from “Community Spaces” [Groundwork UK and the Lottery Fund], Dorset County Council and West Dorset District Council. The brief given to Tony Lucas, Huck’s Playground Design Manager, was to create a play area that would meet the needs of children from 3-11 years of age. It had to be suitable for toddlers to use with supervision, cater for heavy use by under 11s and provide social space for older children. His design also had to take in to account the preferences expressed by local children during the public consultation. They wanted their play area to include swing equipment, multi-play equipment with slides, net climbers, roundabouts and seats; they also wanted it to be in bold bright colours. Huck’s Play equipment easily fulfilled these criteria. The Huck Equipment used included: Long Douglas Fir Swing Frame - Birds Nest - Toddler Seat - Junior Flat Seat Rope Net Tower with Slide, DDA Roundabout, Stepping Pods and Balance Beam. Installation was undertaken by Huck’s installation team and took just over 3 weeks to complete. The play area was officially opened at the end of September 2010. As was observed 'The larger boys present were up the rigging in the centre of the playground and claiming victory as they reached the top of the mast within seconds of the gate being opened!!'
