Outdoor play & sport is all we do
Commercial Play is a specialist designer and installer of outdoor sport and play spaces, formed by directors with over 25 years' experience creating playgrounds children love and schools rely on.
A one-stop shop for outdoor play
Commercial Play was formed by directors with over 25 years' combined experience in outdoor sport and play projects. We saw how often schools were left juggling separate contractors for surfacing, equipment, fencing and structures, and how much was lost in the gaps.
So we built a single team that can take a project from first idea to final safety sign-off: compact nursery gardens, primary and secondary playgrounds, council parks and public play areas. We look for ways to save money, maximise budgets, and turn worn-out spaces into places children can't wait to play in.
With free, no-obligation site visits, designs and consultations, we're here to work alongside you on your next project, across the Midlands, the South and nationwide.
The values behind every playground
Safety without compromise
Every design and installation meets BS EN 1176 and 1177. Safety is the starting point of every project, not an afterthought.
A genuine partnership
We listen first. Your pupils, staff and budget shape the design, and we bring the expertise to make it real.
Quality that lasts
We specify robust, weather-tested materials and install with our own teams, so your playground still performs a decade on.
Play with purpose
Great outdoor spaces build physical confidence, imagination and inclusion. We design for learning and wellbeing, not just equipment.

Trusted by schools across the country
From the first site visit to handover, Commercial Play made the whole project easy. The new trim trail and wet-pour surface have transformed our KS2 playground and the children absolutely love it.
The team designed a sensory garden that works brilliantly for our SEN pupils. Thoughtful, patient and genuinely knowledgeable about inclusive play, and we couldn't be happier.
Our MUGA is used from breakfast club to after-school clubs and now community hire. Excellent build quality and installed on time around our term dates.
