Community play and sports area revitalised in Tardy Gate

Tardy Gate Play Area has been revitalised into a vibrant and inclusive play environment. In partnership with South Ribble Borough Council, Proludic designed and installed the refurbishment, transforming a tired local park into an exciting play destination that encourages active, social and imaginative play, and promotes accessibility and inclusion.

The park includes a ninja trail with a solar-powered stopwatch panel for timed challenges and friendly competition. Two Diabolo multiplay units offer exploration and challenge for younger and older children and features such as a wheelchair-accessible roundabout and brightly coloured shop-play panels ensure inclusive play for every ability.

A new MUGA offers facilities for ball games and skating, with bright colours and an open-sided design to make it welcoming and spectator-friendly.

The existing tarmac and safer surfacing have been upgraded with artificial carpet and thermoplastic graphics and the original teen shelter has been repainted to enhance the park’s appeal.
