Mouse Play Tower

Brown Bear Play Tower

The Brown Bear Play Tower is the flagship of the ESP timber tower range a multi-tower structure designed to serve large numbers of children simultaneously, with the capacity and variety to anchor an entire playground scheme.

Three towers, one connected play landscape

Built around three pitched-roof towers linked by elevated bridges and walkways, the Brown Bear creates a continuous circuit of play at height. Children can move between towers, choose their own routes and revisit the structure again and again without exhausting its possibilities. High throughput makes it particularly well suited to busy primary school playgrounds and public parks where large groups play together at once.

Multiple access and descent challenges

Access is deliberately varied: a cargo climbing net, ladder-style climbers, and stepped access give children graduated levels of physical challenge, allowing them to build confidence and progress at their own pace. Descent options include an open straight slide and an enclosed spiral tube slide, offering contrasting sensations, one open and social, the other enclosed and thrilling.

Breadth of play value

The Brown Bear supports physical, imaginative, social and cooperative play in a single structure. Net climbing develops grip strength, coordination and whole-body control; bridges and elevated decks build balance and spatial awareness; sheltered tower spaces invite role play and quiet retreat; and the scale of the structure naturally encourages children to negotiate, take turns and play together.

Built to last, UK manufactured

Constructed from laminated timber and manufactured in the UK, the Brown Bear is engineered for stability and longevity. Laminated sections resist the warping and splitting common to solid timber, keeping maintenance requirements low and total cost of ownership down. Its modular construction means components can be specified to suit your site and every Brown Bear is manufactured in full compliance with the applicable playground safety standards.

The Little Ladybird Play Tower is a compact single-tower timber play structure designed for smaller playgrounds, with plenty of opportunities for children to climb, crawl, explore and discover. Its clever footprint makes it ideal where space is limited, while the distinctive ESP Play design style gives it plenty of character and makes it an engaging choice for school and nursery playgrounds.

At the heart of the Little Ladybird is its raised play tower, with a crawl tunnel tucked underneath to create an extra route through the equipment. The tower gives children the excitement of elevated play while the tunnel provides an accessible ground-level activity.

The roof and barrier panels add another layer of interest. Sensory perspex panels in bright green and orange bring colour and light into the tower, encouraging children to look through, around and beyond the equipment as they play. The panels provide visual stimulation while giving the Little Ladybird the bold, friendly appearance that makes it instantly recognisable as part of the ESP Play range.

Its compact footprint makes the Little Ladybird particularly well suited to nurseries, early years settings and primary schools where playground space needs to work hard. Younger children can build confidence climbing to the raised platform, while the crawl tunnel provides a lower-level route that encourages movement, exploration and imaginative play. Children can also play alongside one another, making the tower a natural place for social interaction as well as physical activity.

The combination of a small footprint, sensory features and straightforward climbing makes the Little Ladybird a versatile choice for early years and school environments. It offers plenty for children to see, touch, climb through and explore without taking over the playground, making it easy to combine with other outdoor play equipment and create a varied play space.

Like all ESP Play equipment, the Little Ladybird 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 Little Ladybird is installed by ESP Play and supported by our aftercare service, giving schools and nurseries a compact, durable and characterful timber play tower that’s designed to be enjoyed year after year.

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.
