Special Needs Outdoor Playground Equipment
Our dedicated products team have consulted with SEN experts, teachers and children to design and perfect a fantastic selection of SEN Playground Equipment. With the intention to help children with special educational needs feel comfortable during a school day, the feedback from the children themselves has been invaluable!
As many children find free-flow, open-ended, physical play activities therapeutic, we have designed a brilliant range of playground equipment to provide children with regulatory, heavy work activities and breakout spaces in their playground.
Promoting self-regulation and providing therapeutic activities in the playground is important for any school catering towards children with SEN as they begin to understand how and when to calm themselves, recognising when they are becoming frustrated, overwhelmed or unfocused, children are able refocus themselves and become centred and ready for learning.
Designed with inclusivity in mind, our outdoor play equipment enables children of different abilities and ages to play and learn together, encouraging cooperation and socialisation in the playground.
Our expert SEN playground consultants are enthusiastic and dedicated to helping your transform your outdoor space to benefit your children. Working in collaboration with you and your children, they can help design and install an area that will improve children’s behavioural traits, emotional feelings, memory, sensory processing, communication, imagination, social interaction and sustained concentration.
Pentagon Play’s playground equipment for children with special educational needs is unlike anything else currently offered on the market and we are dedicated to continuously expanding the range and adapting our products to ensure they can be fully utilised by your children, no matter their ability. We love receiving feedback on our products and designs to help shape and perfect our range!

The main objectives when developing the playground was to encourage physical activity in a fun and engaging way. The fantastic variety of equipment provides physical challenges that develop balance, hand to eye coordination, climbing confidence, upper and lower body strength, core stability and gross motor skills, but more than this it aids the development of a vivid and creative imagination within our children. New and wonderful games have been invented since the installation of the outdoor gym and trim trail and it is great to see the children work together to come up with rules and strategies for these games. I have even heard children talking about push and pull forces when on some of the gym equipment, showing that they are able to apply their knowledge to the outside world. Working with Pentagon Play has been a pleasant experience. Despite difficulties with lockdown in March Pentagon Play did everything they could to ensure we could have our playground installed and ready for use before the children came back. It was an amazing surprise for the pupils. Communication has always been clear and speedy. I would definitely recommend Pentagon Play to other schools.

The guys doing the artificial grass worked really hard to not cause any disruption as the children were in school.

Excellent installation! I have already passed on your details to a number of schools including my new schools in Barnsley.

From start to finish, working with Pentagon Play has been a dream. All staff are professional and we didn’t realise the installers were on site. The workmanship is to an excellent standard and I would highly recommend.
