John Leigh Park

This was the winning design in an international RIBA competition held to develop an original playground for this leafy park in the suburbs of Altrincham. We worked closely with Trafford Council, Urban Splash, TEP and Groundwork to provide a successful play space that sat naturally within the existing landscape setting and was accessible and safe for all children to use.

The playground is formed from a sinuous river-like loop which winds its way amongst the majestic trees and rolling landscape setting of John Leigh Park in a quiet neighbourhood of Altrincham. Play features inspired by natural forms are set along the loop encouraging children to use their imagination to create different games, journeys and stories.
