Playable Spaces

We aim to create with and for clients the type of playable space that so many of us believe in. We work with providers, designers, architects, artists and local communities to transform possibility into reality.

PLAYLINK deploys its our own team of Associate Landscape Architects to undertake total schemes – from parks, housing and regeneration schemes, to playgrounds to nurseries.

We also work collaboratively with local practices, including local authorities landscape architects, to address some of the knotty issues that have an impact on design and practice generally, for example, dogs, safety surfacing, fencing, concerns about risk, Planning Guidance and S106 agreements.

We believe that playable space should be beautiful, individually designed, should please and stimulate the senses, and be sources of delight and surprise. Nothing less will do.

Quality playable spaces are those that offer children and young people opportunities to engage with their natural surroundings, be sociable and solitary, create imaginary worlds, test boundaries, construct and alter their surroundings, experience change and continuity, and take acceptable levels of risk.
