Landscape Led Design

Proludic have worked very closely with key Local Authorities and Landscape Architects over the past 12 months, helping them to deliver some of the best examples of landscape-led design in the country.

Landscape-led design comes through embracing the natural, existing features of the landscape and combining this with appropriate fixed play opportunities. Undulations, trees, bushes and grassy areas provide a natural template for play that can be enhanced further by selecting fixed play equipment and using a variety of different surfacing options.

“The play space at Welland Park has a pleasant character and ‘feel’ and is clearly a space which both adults and children enjoy using, and illustrates many of the benefits of designing a landscape setting alongside the equipment.”

“The play space is a good example of a layout in which the equipment and landscape setting have been designed together; taking this ‘landscape-led’ approach to the design has enhanced the equipment considerably.”
