Big news from the team at Schoolscapes UK. After more than 25 years of building outdoor play spaces that have stood up to the daily energy of UK schoolchildren, we’re thrilled to launch Leisurescapes – our new dedicated division built exclusively for the commercial leisure sector.
Leisurescapes brings everything our school clients already know us for – bespoke design, UK manufacturing, and rock-solid installation – to holiday parks, hotels, pubs, and visitor attractions across the country. If you’ve followed our recent company news and our work transforming school playgrounds, you’ll know we don’t do this kind of launch lightly. This is the next chapter, and we couldn’t be more excited to share it.
Over the last five years, enquiries from the leisure sector have grown month on month. Holiday park operators, hotel groups, country pub landlords, and visitor attraction owners have all come to us with the same story: their existing playground suppliers were not delivering. Short equipment lifespans, weak design, patchy installation, and an inability to support the kind of footfall a commercial venue generates.
Leisurescapes is built around four core sectors, each with a dedicated team and design approach. Whether you’re refreshing a tired beer garden or planning a major destination playground, there’s a specialist on our team who has done it before.
Based on the website I already fetched, here’s the first table styled to match the second one with all internal links:
| Sector | What We Deliver | Recommended Products |
|---|---|---|
| Holiday Parks | Year-round destination play areas, mixed-age zoning, weather-resilient timber and steel | Play towers and treetops, adventure trails, little movers |
| Hotels | Brand-aligned, compact play features for family booking conversion | Climbing frames, imaginative play, outdoor musical instruments |
| Pubs | Beer garden play areas, single-site and multi-site rollouts for pub groups | Springers, play towers and treetops, playground markings |
| Visitor Attractions | Themed, high-capacity destination playgrounds that drive dwell time | Play boats, adventure forest, inclusive play |
Each project starts with a free site survey and a no-obligation concept design.

Every piece of Leisurescapes equipment is designed and built in the UK by our in-house team. The same timber, the same engineering, the same finishing standards that have held up to thousands of children in school playgrounds now go into our commercial installations. No shipping container deliveries from overseas. No surprise lead times. No questions about who’s installing your equipment.
We don’t have a “commercial range” sitting alongside a cheaper school range. Everything we manufacture is built to commercial standards from day one. That’s part of why our school playground equipment has the reputation it does, and it’s exactly why our leisure clients have been asking us to do more.
From first sketch to final certification, the same project manager runs the job. There are no third-party installers, no subcontracted designers, no awkward handovers. One number to call, one person accountable, one team delivering.
If you’re running a leisure venue and you’ve been weighing up a playground project, here’s how to take the next step:
If you’re an existing Schoolscapes client – a primary school, a nursery, a Multi-Academy Trust, or a parish council — nothing changes for you. Schoolscapes continues as the UK’s specialist for school playground equipment, public park installations, and SEN provision. The same designers, project managers, and installation teams remain dedicated to education and community work.
Leisurescapes runs as a parallel specialism, with its own commercial-focused team. The two divisions share the same manufacturing facility, the same quality standards, and the same family-business ethos – but each gets the focused, sector-specific attention it deserves.
Over the coming months, we’ll be rolling out a packed pipeline of Leisurescapes content, case studies, and sector-specific guidance. Expect deep dives on holiday park design, hotel playground ROI, country pub family destinations, and visitor attraction dwell time. We’ll also be sharing photography from new installations as they come online.
