Notts Sport – Green Dragon Play is a new generation of children’s playground designed to beat boredom and obesity.
Shaun Patrick, Chairman of Notts Sport, which celebrates its 25th anniversary this year, says: “Green Dragon Play tackles the issue of dumbed-down play areas and childhood obesity head-on. Too many of today’s installations are designed more to avoid litigation than to provide fun and as a result, children simply aren’t using them. We have invested in finding out what children enjoy, and found this emphasis on interacting with the surface itself has enormous play value.”
The 20m by 7m Green Dragon Play exhibit features a durable VHAF NottsSward synthetic turf carpet in colours to depict land and a sea with islands and ‘stepping stone’ starfish.
