Glasgow City Council
Notts Sport has been the exclusive supplier of safer surfacing for play and recreation to Glasgow City Council since 1991.
Being awarded the exclusive contract is testament that the ChildsPlay product outperforms all of the competing systems available. As well as being the most vandal resistant product on the market, the choice of colours and designs make it the most cost effective option in the UK.
Over the last 28 years Notts Sport has worked with the council on over 1000 playgrounds and multi-use games areas, many involving the cost-effective refurbishment of wet-pour rubber playgrounds with our VHAF NottsSward synthetic carpet.
Shaun Patrick, Chairman of Notts Sport said, “It has been a true partnership with Scotland’s largest local authority, we are very proud to have had such a good relationship with Glasgow City Council for so many years.
“Local authorities can dramatically reduce their maintenance and repair costs by installing a ChildsPlay system to replace damaged wet-pour rubber play areas. The artificial turf carpet can usually be laid directly on top of the existing surface, keeping the time and costs involved in the project to a minimum.
“In these challenging economic times, we are delighted to be able to offer local authorities a straightforward way of saving taxpayers’ money without cutting services for local people. It doesn’t mean the play area has to be boring though, look at Lincoln Park in Glasgow, a creative space designed for the children to play their own imaginative way.”
The surface and underlying elements of the popular ChildsPlay system combine to offer a playground that is clean and quick-draining after rain, and resistant to cutting, fire and graffiti. ChildsPlay can include varying levels of shock absorbent layering beneath the VHAF NottsSward artificial turf, offering critical fall height protection of up to three metres.
The synthetic VHAF NottsSward turf carpet is available in 15 colours, offering unlimited potential for patterns and games, and can be laid over shapes, mounds and hollows. Whatever colour or form it takes, the textured, tactile carpet also has great sensory appeal.
