Sovereign wins second phase of outdoor play installation at Springside
Published:  17 September, 2009

Following the completion of a successful installation in 2008, Sovereign Play Equipment has been awarded the second phase in the outdoor play development at Springside with Hamer Learning Community in Rochdale.

Jane Herring, Head Teacher of Springside School commented: "Sovereign listened very carefully and understood the needs of the children when the first stage of work was carried out last year. As it was a new school, there were no existing play facilities. Fellow Headteacher of Hamer, Jan Smith and I wanted to create a well constructed, interesting play area that would not only cater for the pupils, but encourage them to interact." Ms Herring continued.

Phase One - designed and installed by Sovereign included playground markings for Hamer incorporated skipping zones, activity trails and traditional hopscotch areas. For Springside there were colourful playground markings along with sensory music panels. The shared area consisted of two low-level wooden adventure trails with rubber grass saver tiles underneath.

The second phase goes a step further and will provide four new areas including: a sensory area (shielded from UV rays by an eight-metre sail shade canopy, adventure trail equipment, a climbing tower and an outdoor classroom area protected by a waterproof octagonal gazebo."
