Water Course

Water courses are a wonderful addition to any nature play area. Outdoor spaces for children is less about looking at trees and plants, but rather it includes natural features such as sand, soil, mud, grass, rocks and water. Children must be able to actively explore and experience different types of natural environments. It’s about allowing children to touch and play with the natural environment in their everyday play. And yes, that sometimes means getting wet and dirty.

Water courses

If you have access to water, a pump may be placed at one end connected to the water source.  Bespoke Playgrounds can supply and install the pump and create a beautiful rocky stream to either a drain or a sandpit.
