Playtime in Plymouth – Marlborough Primary, Devonport – July 2026

We’ve just completed a lovely installation of our ever-popular Rydon Castle play tower system for the EYFS children of Marlborough Primary School in Devonport, Plymouth. The school, part of the Reach South Academy Trust, has used us previously, as has the trust, and we are already an approved contractor which helped to ease the process.

Design and Features

This castle-styled unit consists of two castle towers, designed in a cartoon-style appearance and decorated with coloured sections, drawbridge chains and castellated turrets to give the children some great creative role play opportunities.

• Two linked castle towers joined by a clatter bridge
• A slide in a matching colour theme
• A ramp with angled slats and a stainless steel fireman’s pole
• A stainless steel spiral pigtail for climbing, crawling and sliding
• An angled ramp with climbing grips and steps

Installation and Safety Surfacing

The whole unit was fitted onto galvanised steel ground feet that eliminate ground rot, and the existing wet pour surfacing was patch-repaired using a different coloured rubber. The unit was also adapted to fit the available space, with falling area safety constraints in mind, as always.

The Outcome

Thanks again to all at Reach South Academy Trust and Marlborough Primary for using Rhino Play SW again.
