Manor Leas Infant School in Lincoln recently underwent a significant renovation of its outdoor play area. This renovation, led by Newby Leisure, marked a return to the school approximately 12 years after their first installation there. The goal was to bring the school’s new playground visions to life, creating an engaging and educational play space for the students.
One of the main challenges faced during the renovation was managing the removal and replacement of the old playground structures while ensuring the safety and minimal disruption for the students. Additionally, the project required a durable and low-maintenance surface solution that could withstand the wear and tear of active children and the varying UK weather conditions.
To address these challenges, Playrite’s Nearlygrass 30 was selected for its exceptional durability and low maintenance requirements. Nearlygrass 30 provides all-year-round access to the outdoor playground, ensuring that the children can enjoy the space regardless of weather conditions. Its realistic look and feel make it an ideal choice for creating a safe and inviting play environment.
Ken Smith from Playrite emphasised the benefits, noting, “Nearlygrass 30 offers a versatile and robust solution for playgrounds, ensuring that children have a safe, enjoyable space to play throughout the year without the heavy maintenance burden associated with natural grass.”
Ashley Spink from Newby Leisure added, “Returning to Manor Leas Infants was a fantastic experience. Seeing the children’s excitement as we transformed their playground was incredibly rewarding. The new play area, featuring Nearlygrass 30, provides diverse play opportunities, from water and messy play to physical and sand play.”
The playground renovation at Manor Leas Infant School successfully transformed the outdoor play space into a vibrant and engaging area for the children. With the use of Playrite’s Nearlygrass 30, the school now enjoys a low-maintenance, all-weather play area that supports various types of play and educational activities, ensuring the students can learn and play safely and enjoyably year-round.
