At Edspace, we know that a school playground is more than just a place to let off steam—it’s a space where children grow, connect, and explore. That’s why we provide a wide range of playground surfacing solutions designed to create safe, inspiring, and durable outdoor environments.
Our school play surfacing options include:
Take learning beyond the classroom with Edspace’s Outdoor Classrooms and Gazebos—versatile, timber-framed structures designed to support outdoor education, play, and community use all year round.
Whether it’s for teaching, quiet reflection, or providing a sheltered space for parents at pick-up time, our outdoor classrooms and playground shelters offer a practical and inspiring solution for schools and nurseries. Crafted from FSC-certified, pressure-treated play-grade timber, they’re built to last and made with sustainability in mind.
At Edspace, we offer a versatile range of school canopies and shade solutions designed to support outdoor learning and play in all seasons. Encouraging children to spend more time outdoors is proven to boost both physical health and mental well-being—and it’s something Ofsted actively promotes, especially in Early Years, Key Stage 1, and Key Stage 2 settings.
But with the unpredictability of British weather, outdoor activities can often be disrupted by rain, intense sun, or harmful UV exposure. That’s where our Freeflow Canopies and Shades come in—providing reliable, weather-resistant cover so pupils can enjoy the benefits of outdoor learning and play, whatever the forecast.
A fun, active way to boost health and focus—rain or shine
At Edspace, our all-weather Daily Mile Tracks are designed to make it easy and enjoyable for pupils to get outside, get moving, and stay active throughout the year. These dedicated tracks provide a safe, accessible space for children to walk, jog, or run a mile a day—helping to build lifelong healthy habits.
Already a popular feature in schools across the UK, our tracks have helped thousands of pupils improve their fitness, lift their mood, and enjoy valuable social time with friends—all while benefiting from fresh air and regular movement.
We know that fitting physical activity into the school day can be a challenge. That’s why our Daily Mile Tracks offer a practical, low-disruption solution. With a dedicated space for movement, schools can encourage daily exercise without impacting the timetable—and many report improved focus and concentration in the classroom as a result.
Unlock year-round sporting opportunities with Edspace’s Multi-Use Games Areas (MUGAs)—versatile, all-weather sports zones designed to get pupils active, rain or shine.
Whether you're transforming a section of your playground or developing a brand-new sports facility, our MUGAs can be tailored to suit your available space and budget. From compact kickabout areas to full-sized courts, we create dynamic environments for football, netball, basketball, hockey, tennis, and more.
Built to last and designed for maximum impact, our MUGAs offer a cost-effective way to enhance your school’s sports provision. They’re a smart investment for schools looking to make the most of their PE and Sports Premium funding, providing a long-term resource that supports physical activity, teamwork, and fun.
At Edspace, our trim trails are designed to spark imagination and movement, encouraging children to stay active while having fun. Built from durable, play-grade round timber, each trail features a series of engaging obstacles that promote physical activity, coordination, and teamwork.
From navigating cargo nets to balancing on beams or tackling swinging logs, every element of the trail offers a new challenge. These stations help pupils develop motor skills, build strength, and boost confidence—all while enjoying the thrill of outdoor adventure.
Whether you're enhancing your playground or creating a dedicated fitness zone, our trim trails provide a dynamic, long-lasting solution for encouraging healthy, active lifestyles in schools.
