Dunkirk Playground, Nottingham



We went to the official opening of a playground we designed in Dunkirk, Nottingham. Plants will continue to grow over the the steel structure to create a big green tunnel, creating a natural environment for children to play, taking the emphasis away from the noise and pollution of the Nottingham flyover which runs over the school grounds. The children and staff are really enjoying their exciting new playground which they use throughout the day and evening for learning and play.
