Specification of Works Cheena Meadow is a well-used playground located between the Garden of Rest and Robertswood School on Denham Lane, Chalfont St Peter. The current playground consists mostly of ageing metal equipment with wet pour safety surfacing. Much of the equipment and surfacing is beginning to show signs of wear and is in need of replacement. Although the playground currently contains a wide range of equipment, it lacks a cohesive design and the Council is seeking to include more exciting play equipment that caters to children between 1 and 12 years of age. Equipment to be retained includes space trainer spinner and possibly the swings (TBC). There is currently a good range of equipment for primary school aged children. There is a desire to replace the most popular equipment with a like for like comparison and also add in some more imaginative and fun pieces as required. We would like to add a couple of multi-play units that include sensory/interactive elements and if possible some degree of accessibility for children with disabilities. The challenge is to design a playground that caters to all age ranges with stimulating pieces that children are excited to use. Materials The Parish Council are willing to consider equipment made of different materials e.g. wood, plastic and metal pieces. However, due to the heavy use of the playground, equipment must be robust and vandal-proof. The Parish Council also wishes to include appropriate safety surfacing to deliver a cohesive play experience. Any specified material must be hardwearing and offer longevity and be cost effective. The Parish Council believes bonded rubber mulch would be a preferred option however, other options will be considered. Environmental Considerations The Parish Council are environmentally aware and is interested in reducing carbon emissions and mitigating its impact on the environment wherever possible. Applicants that can demonstrate environmentally friendly policies with regard to the manufacture, recycling and disposal of equipment will be looked on favourably. List of minimum play equipment required. Cradle Swings - Two swings for younger children Flat-bed swings - Two swings for older children Pre-school/Toddler multi-play unit - The piece should be exciting and challenging, aimed mainly at children 1-5yrs and should include some of the below: slide(s), walkways/bridges, tubes/tunnels, climbing wall, climbing ropes, fireman's pole base area accessible to younger children/wheelchair users with interactive elements.
