New Climbing Frame Range (No Safety Surfacing Required!)

Control your playground project budget by removing the biggest cost variable

One of the most common surprises in playground projects is how much of the budget is absorbed by groundworks and safety surfacing. Once excavation, stone sub-bases, and installation are factored in, these elements can represent a significant proportion of the total spend, something many planners only discover further into the buying process.

Creative Play’s new climbing frame range (all under £10k!) has been specifically designed to avoid that escalation. Installed directly onto grass or tarmac, these frames remove the need for safety surfacing, keeping installation simpler, faster, and significantly more affordable overall.

Six new climbing frames all under £10k designed for budget clarity:

Named after rivers across the UK, the range continues our tradition of celebrating the natural landscape while inspiring adventurous outdoor play.

Designed to protect spending without compromising play

By removing the requirement for safety surfacing altogether, project costs remain clearer from the outset, allowing investment to focus on play value rather than groundworks.

Their compact, low-level design also makes them well suited to smaller or irregular spaces, delivering accessible physical challenge without a large footprint.

The result is a cost-efficient, space-saving climbing frame range that delivers strong developmental value and long-term durability.

“We developed this climbing frame range to solve a problem we see repeatedly during consultations, projects that grow far more expensive once safety surfacing and groundworks are added. By enabling installation directly onto grass, we’ve removed one of the biggest cost variables in a typical playground install, while still delivering meaningful physical challenge and progression.”

Built for confidence, progression and movement skills

These timber climbing frames support physical development through climbing, traversing, balancing, and open-ended movement. Their considered height and layout encourage children to challenge themselves appropriately, build confidence gradually, and develop coordination and spatial awareness.

Suitable for school playgrounds, outdoor learning environments, and public parks, the frames offer a practical solution that balances challenge, durability, and financial control.

“We’ve helped hundreds of schools plan new playgrounds on tighter budgets, and these climbing frames make it even more straightforward. Installing directly onto grass keeps costs down without compromising on challenge or play value.”
