Moose Play Tower

The Little Hedgehog Play Tower from ESP takes an open-deck approach, replacing enclosed roofs with a light, airy frame that keeps clear sightlines across the whole structure, useful on sites where supervision matters, from nursery outdoor areas to busy school playgrounds.

Two linked decks sit at the centre of the unit, edged with timber balustrades and brightly coloured panels punched with portholes and cut-out shapes for peering, posting and imaginative play. A wide moulded slide provides the main descent, with generous side walls and a gentle run-out. Around the perimeter, a climbing wall panel with moulded holds gives an achievable first climbing challenge, while a rope element offers a second route up for children ready to test themselves. Contrasting handholds mark the transitions, helping younger users read the structure and plan their way through it. The open framing beneath the decks creates natural den space for quieter, ground-level play.

Structural components are produced from laminated timber, engineered for dimensional stability. Laminated sections resist the twisting, splitting and surface checking that degrade solid round timber over time, so the unit holds both its appearance and its structural performance through years of continuous outdoor use with noticeably lower maintenance demand across its lifespan.

Manufactured in the UK, the Little Hedgehog gives specifiers shorter lead times, direct technical support and full material traceability. It is fully compliant with BS EN 1176 and supplied with the documentation required for inspection and sign-off.

Well suited to early years settings, primary schools, local authority parks and residential development open space, it delivers strong play value across a compact footprint.

Fox Play Tower

The Fox Play Tower is a dynamic, climbing-led timber structure built for children who want to test themselves. With two slides, multiple net and rope challenges and a linked deck arrangement, it delivers high-energy, repeatable play for schools, parks and public open spaces.

Two slides, two routes down

A key feature of the Fox is its twin slide arrangement, descents from separate points on the structure, allowing two children to slide at once and keeping the flow of play moving at peak times. It removes the bottleneck that single-slide structures create at break and lunchtime, and gives children a reason to circulate rather than queue.

Climbing challenge at its core

The Fox is built around varied climbing challenge. Cargo netting, rope traverses, ladder access and stepped entry points each demand something different, grip strength, whole-body coordination, balance, planning. Children can pick the route that matches their confidence today and progress to a harder one as they develop. That graduated difficulty is what keeps a structure interesting over months and years rather than weeks.

Broad play value

Beyond the physical, the Fox supports imaginative play within its sheltered roofed tower, social play as children negotiate routes and take turns, and cooperative play as they encourage and coach one another through the harder climbs. Elevated decks and open sightlines give children somewhere to pause, watch and take stock an underrated part of how children actually use play equipment.

UK manufactured from laminated timber

The Fox is constructed from laminated timber and manufactured in the UK. Laminated sections resist the warping, twisting and splitting associated with solid timber, holding their form through years of weather exposure and heavy use. The result is limited maintenance, lower whole-life costs and a genuinely long service life. Modular construction allows the configuration to suit your site, and every Fox Play Tower is manufactured in full compliance with applicable playground safety standards.

The Rabbit Play Tower is a twin-tower climbing frame built for busy playgrounds, where children can climb, slide, scramble and race their friends from one deck to the next. Two apex-roofed towers sit at contrasting heights, linked by a raised bridge that turns a simple climb into a full circuit of play and gives children a shaded lookout at the top of each.

Every route in is a different challenge. A timber access ladder offers a straightforward first climb, while the scramble ramp and its knotted rope demand a little more grip and determination. The climbing wall panel rewards problem-solving, and once children reach the top there are two ways down: a wide wave slide, or a steel fireman’s pole for a faster exit. Sturdy balustrades and infill panels enclose both decks throughout.

That variety is what keeps the Rabbit in use all break, all year. Younger children build confidence on the steps and ladder; older ones push themselves on the rope ramp and pole. It works equally well in nursery gardens, primary school playgrounds and community parks.

Like all ESP Play equipment, the Rabbit Play Tower is manufactured in the UK using laminated timber. Laminated timber is engineered by bonding layers of graded timber under pressure, producing posts that are stronger, straighter and far more resistant to twisting, warping and splitting than solid sawn timber. The result is a frame that holds its shape season after season, with clean lines and a smooth finish that’s kinder to small hands. All timber is pressure-treated for long-term protection against rot and insect attack.

Designed, engineered and built by our own team, the Rabbit Play Tower is installed by ESP Play and supported by our aftercare service, so your playground stays safe, sound and busy for years to come.

Little Woodpecker Play Tower

The Little Woodpecker Play Tower is a compact twin-tower timber structure designed specifically for children aged 3 to 7. Every element  deck height, step rise, handrail position, slide gradient  is scaled to the size and stage of early years and infant children, giving them a structure they can master rather than one they have to be lifted onto.

Two towers, one shared play space

Two pitched-roof towers sit side by side, linked by a connecting deck to create a small, contained world at height. The scale is deliberately modest: young children benefit from being able to see the whole structure at once, understand where the routes go, and stay within sight of supervising adults. It’s a design that builds confidence rather than testing it.

Age-appropriate access and descent

A gentle stepped ramp and stair access with handrails give young children secure, manageable ways up, supporting the development of coordination, balance and sequencing. A short, wide slide provides a rewarding descent at a gradient suited to little ones thrilling enough to be worth repeating, gentle enough to be approached without hesitation.

Play value for early years

Activity panels at deck level invite manipulation, counting, matching and mark-making, extending play beyond the purely physical. The roofed towers create sheltered spaces for role play, den-making and quiet retreat, vital for young children who need somewhere to regulate as well as somewhere to climb. And because two children can occupy the towers comfortably, the structure naturally supports the parallel and early cooperative play typical of this age group.
