Woodpecker Play Tower
The Woodpecker Play Tower from ESP is a twin-tower climbing structure built to deliver high-energy, imaginative play in busy public spaces and to keep delivering it season after season.
Two pitched-roof towers sit side by side, linked by a rope bridge that gives younger climbers their first real test of balance and nerve. Getting up there is half the fun. A timber staircase with handrails offers an easy, confidence-building route for less-adventurous children, while a vertical climbing ladder, an angled rope scramble net and a chain net wall give bolder users a genuine physical challenge. The descent is handled by a wide, high-sided polyethylene slide, with coloured panels adding visual interest and defining sheltered den space beneath the decks.
Every structural component is produced from laminated timber. Unlike solid round timber, laminated sections are engineered for dimensional stability, resisting the twisting, splitting and warping that shorten the working life of conventional play equipment. The result is a unit that holds its appearance and its structural integrity under continuous public use, with lower maintenance demands across its lifespan.
The Woodpecker is manufactured in the UK, giving specifiers shorter lead times, direct technical support and full traceability of materials. It is fully compliant with BS EN 1176, the European safety standard for playground equipment, and is supplied with the documentation required for inspection and sign-off.
Designed for local authority parks, school playgrounds, nurseries and residential development open space, the Woodpecker Play Tower suits schemes where durability, compliance and play value all have to be evidenced. It works equally well as a standalone centrepiece or as the anchor of a wider play area.
