Site: Whitehills Gardens, Cove, Aberdeen, Aberdeenshire, AB12 3TZ
Client: Stewart Milne
Budget: £47,500
Cove Bay is a coastal suburb on the south edge of Aberdeen. Stewart Milne Homes were really keen to provide an accessible playground that blended in well with the new homes. The equipment selected makes a fantastic ship-wreck theme which is perfect for the coastal location of the site. The aquatic theme was carried through in the toddler area with the sand and sea graphics in the safety surfacing. The play area is rich in play values and accommodates over 50 children at any one time.
The vision for the design was to give local children of all ages an exciting play area. The finished playground has exceeded expectations. The colours of the ship match the grass and the house frontages. The marine shipwreck theme has proved to be very popular with the grown-ups as well because there is now a lovely open park feel to the play space with room to wander around whilst enjoying the sea air.
