The Borland Leckie Park Playspace is designed to be a welcoming and inclusive environment for all children. Featuring a variety of play opportunities, the space encourages exploration, creativity, and active play.

Sensory Playground Equipment

At its heart, the Sand Factory offers an immersive, hands-on play experience. Children can scoop, pour, and transport sand using chutes, conveyors, rotating tables, and diggers. This dynamic play area encourages meeting new friends and learning how to interact. Playing together also fosters social skills and teamwork.

With handling activities woven throughout, children develop their fine motor skills as they maneuver pulleys, spin sand wheels, and manipulate different textures. The tactile stimulation from sand play enhances coordination and dexterity, making every touch a learning experience. The Sand Factory also promotes thinking, as children problem-solve how to move sand through the system, building confidence and independence along the way.

Play for tiny people

Nearby, the Diabolo Multiplay Unit provides young adventurers with an engaging space to climb, helping them develop dexterity, balance, and coordination as they navigate their way up. Once at the top, they can experience the thrill of sliding down, adding an element of excitement and movement. The unit also encourages meeting, allowing children to interact and form new friendships. A small space for hiding creates an element of playful suspense, while a cosy nook provides sheltering, offering a comforting retreat where children can feel secure. For those who need a break, a dedicated spot for resting allows little ones to recharge before jumping back into play.

More playground equipment

Beyond these key features, a fish and boat springer bring a splash of seaside fun, while the inclusive roundabout ensures that all children can enjoy the joy of spinning together. A charming play cottage fosters role play, sparking imagination and social storytelling, and the swing set, featuring a pod seat, provides a thrilling yet secure way to soar through the air.

A communication board has been installed to support non-verbal children and those with communication difficulties, ensuring that every child can express themselves and engage with the play experience. This thoughtful addition enhances accessibility and promotes inclusive play for all abilities.

For moments of relaxation, a variety of seat options invite resting. Children and carers can recharge before jumping back into play. With a perfect blend of sensory, active, and social play opportunities, the Borland Leckie Playspace is a welcoming destination where children can explore, create, and make lasting memories.
