What's New?

New Exciting Pirate Ship multi play unit installed by KOMPAN in Barnton

KOMPAN worked with Rosebank school to supply and install a new product for the Special Educational Needs School in Barnton, Northwich. This school had a need for a big 'WOW' piece, to fit a limited area in their playground, helping to burn off their pupils energy between classes. The imaginative play unit has been received really well and offers play at ground level and at multiple heights. We personalised this unit to add in accessible stairs too, to ensure that all users could climb up and join the pirates! This piece features two different height slides, 3 different height climbing nets, 3 ground level desks, 2 hammocks to hang out under the ship, multiple interactive panel features such as the treasure chest and see-through dome... and more!
