Proludic works with housebuilders across the UK to create inclusive, sustainable play spaces that enhance new developments, encourage physical activity and bring communities together.
This film showcases three examples of Proludic’s distinctive work within the North-West housing sector: Maylands Park (Barratt David Wilson, Nantwich), Sydney Road (Barratt David Wilson, Crewe) and Astbury Gardens (Seddon Homes, Winterley). Across all three developments, Proludic worked closely with Cheshire East Council to design and select appropriate play equipment, creating vibrant central community hubs. Each space was designed to appeal to families, cater for children of different ages and abilities, and provide welcoming environments where residents can meet, socialise and build a sense of community.
Inspired by Crewe’s railway heritage and market town roots, Sydney Place Play Area stands out for its bespoke themed equipment, sustainable Origin’ range products and imaginative design features that reflect the area’s identity. Combining natural materials with varied physical and sensory play opportunities, the scheme creates an inclusive environment that celebrates local character while offering something for children of all ages.

By working collaboratively with the local authority on behalf of the developer, we deliver carefully considered, inclusive and high-quality play area designs that balance community needs with commercial budgets – creating a true focal point at the heart of the development.
At Winterley, the distinctive design makes the most of the site’s existing natural landscape, retaining an established oak tree as a central feature of the play area. Leaf-patterned wetpour surfacing and wildlife-inspired equipment reinforce the nature theme, helping the space blend seamlessly into its surroundings. Positive feedback from residents and the David Wilson Homes sales team, alongside delivery on time, within budget and in line with planning requirements, demonstrates the value of close collaboration and a design tailored to the site.
From initial planning and design through to installation and aftercare, Proludic supports housebuilders in delivering play spaces that meet planning requirements, make effective use of budgets and reflect the character of each development. These projects across the North-West demonstrate how thoughtfully designed, inclusive play environments can enhance new housing developments and deliver lasting value for the communities they serve.
