An Exciting New Play Area comes to West Dorset

An innovative new play area has recently opened in West Bay, Bridport, Dorset. It was the brainchild of a group of young teenagers in the area who, as members of a Summer Mentoring Project, had identified the need for a play area in the Town that they could use and feel they belonged in. The initiative was supported by the Bridport Youth Centre and the Bridport Town Council, who together worked tirelessly to obtain the funding to make the Play Area a reality. They engaged Huck Play, the play division of Huck Nets UK based in the town, to work with them to design a play area that would complement the landscape and would, most importantly, meet the teenager's requirements. Huck Play, manufacture, design, supply and install rope and net play equipment. Being manufactured mostly of rope and timber their play equipment is ideally suited to outdoor natural play environments. The end result is a unique play area that reflects its setting on the Jurassic Coast and the areas history of rope making. The purpose built design is based on a "ship" wrecked on the rocks and broken into three pieces, with robust climbing structures and swings. In the words of one 14 year old involved with the project: "It is a play area for everyone from 0-99"!! Said Huck's Playground Design Manager, Tony Lucas: "This was a very exciting project for us to be involved with and work on. Not only has it given us the opportunity to show case our dynamic product range , and our creative design capability.. . it is also tremendous to be supporting the young people of our community and to have the opportunity of working with them to realise their aspirations. We are extremely proud of what we have achieved together!!"
