KOMPAN transforms Charnwood’s Queens Park

Charnwood Borough Council appointed KOMPAN to help transform its popular town centre destination at Queen’s Park in Loughborough. The existing site had become tired and outdated, with several items no longer in use, limited play value and ongoing anti-social behaviour issues linked to the layout of the space and the equipment in place.

The completed play space has been designed to be “bold, distinctive, and instantly welcoming” to visitors of all ages and abilities.

Informal age zoning helps guide children through different levels of challenge and play experience as they grow, while the large inclusive Sensory Dome provides a centrepiece and a multi-generational focal point for the park.

According to the council, the new play area has been “incredibly well received” since its opening.
