• Safety: Complies with stringent UK safety standards to ensure worry-free use.
• Inclusivity: Accessible to users of all abilities.
• Durability: Built to endure heavy use and the demands of the British climate.
• Community Engagement: Encourages social interaction among children, families, and older adults.

With over 17 years’ experience, Caloo offers expert guidance to help clients select equipment that delivers lasting value and real community impact.

Best Equipment for Community Parks and Shared Spaces

Public parks need to cater to a wide range of users – from toddlers and teenagers to adults and seniors. Caloo’s diverse range of equipment ensures that everyone in the community feels welcome.

Multi Use Games Areas (MUGAs)

MUGAs are versatile sports facilities perfect for football, basketball, netball, and more. They encourage friendly matches, fitness activities, and community events, making them a popular choice for parks aiming to support active lifestyles.

Outdoor Gym Equipment

Designed for teens, adults, and older users, Caloo’s outdoor gym units help promote health and fitness in a relaxed, social environment. Choose from a variety of cardio, strength, and balance equipment, including inclusive pieces designed for wheelchair users.

Inclusive Play Equipment

Inclusive play is essential for building connected communities. Caloo’s range includes wheelchair-accessible roundabouts, sensory panels, and low-impact swings, ensuring that every child – regardless of ability – can join in the fun.

Trim Trails

Trim trails add a fun, adventurous element to parks with activities such as balancing beams, climbing nets, monkey bars, and stepping logs. They help users of all ages build strength, coordination, and confidence while having fun.

Play Towers and Modular Units

For energetic play, modular play towers provide slides, climbing walls, tunnels, and imaginative play zones. With customisable designs to suit space and user needs, these units encourage social play and active fun for a variety of age groups.

Timber vs Steel Equipment

Both timber and steel have their advantages in community spaces.
