Affordable Range of School Play Equipment
At Huck Play, you'll find a wide range of outdoor play equipment specifically designed for schools. Our products are age-appropriate and promote physical activity, imaginative play, and social interaction among students.
From traditional playground staples like swings and slides to bespoke structures tailored to your school's unique space, we have something for every budget and need.
Here's a taste of what we offer in our affordable range of school play equipment:
Parkour Equipment
Our parkour equipment is some of our most popular with primary schools, creating a fun and challenging environment for children to develop their coordination, balance and agility.
Our range includes obstacles such as balancing beams, rope courses and tyre runs, all designed with safety in mind and suitable for children aged 2+.
The Meeting Point is a brilliant example of our parkour equipment, featuring a variety of elements to test children's physical abilities while also encouraging teamwork, such as wooden beams, rope walkways, and stepping posts.
Having multiple parkour structures in a school playground can promote physical activity and creativity while also providing an outlet for students to release energy during break times.
Rope Climbing Pyramids
For a more challenging climbing experience, our rope climbing pyramids are the perfect addition to any school playground and work as a great flagship piece.
Not only do these structures build strength, balance, and coordination, but they also promote problem-solving skills as students navigate their way to the top.
Additionally, our rope-climbing pyramids can accommodate multiple users at once, letting children work together and build teamwork skills.

We begin by conducting a thorough assessment of the space and discussing your requirements and ideas.
We are able to combine pieces of equipment or come up with completely new designs tailored to your space. From the structure itself to the rope colours and powder coating options, every aspect of the playground can be customised to fit your preferences.
Our team then uses advanced design software to create a 3D-rendered model of the proposed playground, giving you a realistic idea of how it will look once installed and the quote for the project.
