Play Panels
Play panels pack games, music, textures and learning into the small footprint of any playground equipment. From sensory panels, to musical and roleplay, our range is wide, with inclusive designs like Braille and emotions panels available. Panels can be wall mounted, fence fixed or freestanding to suit any layout.
Why it matters
The Benefits of Playground Play Panels
- Inclusive by Design – Panels are playable at ground level from a standing or seated position, making them one of the most accessible pieces of playground equipment available.
- Supports Sensory Development – Textures, colours, sounds and moving parts stimulate touch, sight and hearing, which is why sensory panels are a staple of SEN play spaces.
- Sneaks Learning Into Play – Counting shapes, spelling in Braille, matching emotions and playing the xylophone all build skills without a classroom in sight.
- Encourages Calm, Social Play – Two-player games like tic-tac-toe and role-play panels give children a quieter way to interact and take turns.
- Fits Where Nothing Else Will – Wall-mounted, fence-fixed, or freestanding, panels add play value to walkways, quiet corners and spaces too small for anything else.
