Playground Design
Our expert designers create bespoke playground concepts tailored to your space and requirements. Using 3D visualisation technology, we help you preview your new play area before installation. With over a decade of experience serving schools and local authorities, we specialise in creating stimulating environments that promote child development while maintaining strict safety compliance. Our designs incorporate sustainable materials and consider accessibility for all abilities.
Equipment Installation
Professional installation service delivered by DBS-checked operatives with industry-specific training. We handle complete equipment assembly and safety checks, working around school holidays to minimise disruption. Our installation process includes ground preparation, equipment assembly, and final safety inspections to BS EN 1176/77 standards, ensuring your playground is ready for immediate use.
Safety Surfacing
Comprehensive surfacing solutions including rubber mulch, artificial grass, and wet pour systems. Our safety surfaces meet critical fall height requirements and are installed by certified professionals. We offer both new installations and resurfacing services, with options tailored to different age groups and accessibility needs while maintaining year-round usability.
Maintenance Packages
Regular inspection and maintenance services to ensure ongoing safety compliance. Our packages include quarterly/annual checks by third-party accredited inspectors, with detailed photographic reports and risk assessments. We offer both standalone maintenance and combined packages with inspections, covering equipment checks, repairs, and safety standard updates to maintain insurance compliance.
Recycled Plastic Equipment
Durable playground equipment manufactured from 100% recycled plastic materials. This sustainable alternative to traditional timber offers a 20-year guarantee with zero rot or splintering. Our range includes climbing frames, trim trails, and interactive play panels designed for commercial use, combining environmental responsibility with robust construction for high-traffic play areas.

Great people to work with. I really appreciate all the effort and attention that went into our playground built.
Will, I can't thank you enough for making this process as easy and enjoyable as possible. We now have more family business than ever before! When our next location is ready, I'll be giving you a buzz right away.

Working with Ryan was a pleasure. He designed and installed a playground at our school and our kids love it. The team were in and out in a jiffy and the kids now have the playground of their dreams, which makes me happy. Thanks to the team for all the great work!

Ive had the pleasure of working with Ryan and the team at Rhinoplay on 4 different projects over the past six years. I work as a Landscape Architect and the biggest challenge for me has been finding a reputable playground designer and manufacturer to fulfill the standards that Im looking for.
Rhinoplay are easy to deal with, can design for any space and specification and most importantly they deliver on time and on budget. Ive never had any headaches when dealing with this company which Is more than I can say other players in this field.
Aussie made and Aussie owned is something I will
