Devon-based Rhino Play has capped off a successful 2025, completing over 50 commercial playground projects across the Southwest and beyond. The specialist playground equipment provider, which has been serving schools and leisure spaces for more than a decade, has seen strong demand for both its innovative recycled plastic range and traditional timber frame installations.

Among the standout projects delivered in 2025 was the transformation of Shaldon Play Park in Devon, a large-scale commercial installation for Shaldon Parish that created a vibrant community play space. The company also completed an exciting project at Finlake Resort in Cudleigh, delivering equipment designed to enhance the holiday experience for families visiting the popular Devon destination.

Demonstrating the company’s commitment to sustainable play solutions, Rhino Play installed eco-focused playground equipment at Elburton Primary School in Plymouth. The project showcased the durability and environmental benefits of the company’s recycled plastic range, which has become increasingly popular with schools and councils seeking low-maintenance, long-lasting solutions.

Stuart Hunt, Head of Sales at Rhino Play, said: “2025 has been an incredibly busy year for us, with projects ranging from £3000 to £100,000 in value. We’ve worked hard with everyone from primary schools to large leisure destinations, and each project has presented unique opportunities to create engaging, safe play environments.

“What’s particularly encouraging is the growing interest in our recycled plastic equipment range. Clients are recognising that these installations offer exceptional durability and require minimal maintenance over their lifespan, making them a smart long-term investment. The environmental credentials are an added bonus that resonates strongly with schools and councils working towards sustainability goals.”

The recycled plastic range has proven particularly popular due to its resistance to weathering, rot and vandalism, significantly reducing ongoing maintenance costs compared to traditional materials. The equipment maintains its appearance and structural integrity for decades, making it ideal for high-traffic public spaces and school playgrounds.

Looking ahead to 2026, Hunt added: “We’re starting the new year with a strong pipeline of projects already in development. The demand for quality playground equipment shows no sign of slowing, and we’re excited to continue helping schools, councils and leisure providers create outstanding play spaces for their communities.”
