Irchester Country Park

The new Play Space boasts a range of timber play equipment which caters for all age groups, and abilities and compliments the Country Parks history and background and existing surroundings perfectly. The Park is a former Ironstone Quarry and with it being recognised as a Regionally Important Geological Site (RIGS) owing to its Jurassic geology which has been exposed as a result of the mining, eibe wanted to incorporate this history and those themes within the new play space.

The eibe design team set about designing what would be a scaled down version of the Country Park. Complete with it’s own ‘Ironstone Quarry’ climbing wall set into an existing mound and by creating a Sand Play digging area where children could unearth Jurassic fossils, eibe have been able to incorporate education and history whilst providing stimulating, exciting and fun play for children of all ages and abilities. SWP manufactured, supplied and installed a superb range of bespoke bridges to compliment the other playing components and surroundings.
