Innovation Hub - a centre for learning and resource The world around us is quickly evolving and changing. For us to stay in tune and relevant we have the innova�on hub at the heart of our opera�on. This impacts greatly on the design, consultancy and delivery of our play spaces but is mostly focused on how we can make a greater contribu�on to local communi�es who our play spaces serve. The Jupiter Play team are the driving force behind the innova�on hub, their passion to learn and develop have enabled the company to lead the way in the industry par�cularly in;
A Design-Led approach is the single most important drive for Jupiter Play. The design team comprises of a team of experts in; bespoke design, landscape architecture and urban design. The team work within the interna�onal network to keep up with the latest developments, most notably with ar�sans of bespoke design in Germany and Landscape Architects globally. These partnerships ensure you, our client will always receive a highly skilled and knowledgeable design package.
Inclusive design is the oldest strand of the innova�on hub. Did you know that the brand Inclusive Play was set up within Jupiter Play in response to the poor amount of a�en�on and understanding on inclusive play in the play industry? The founder of the PiPA toolkit is also a senior member of the team, with over a decade of experience collabora�ng with SEN schools, short breaks teams and families to keep driving be�er inclusive design. Jupiter Play’s bespoke design capabili�es also enables us to create inclusive products that enable all children to play together, whatever their ability.

Ac�ve Landscape Research is our most recent addi�on to the innova�on hub. So concerned are we, with the health crisis in the UK and the low ac�vity levels that are affec�ng the health and well-being of our future genera�ons, we have taken a step to understand how our role as designers for children at play can help to change this. Having learned the importance of fundamental movement skills we are now working in collabora�on with Coventry University on a piece of research that will be one of the most unique studies undertaken within the play and sport sector.
Quality & Sustainability Quality and sustainability should be viewed as equals - u�lising quality build materials ensures the longevity of equipment and less requirement for replacing parts and product, therefore minimising our impact on the environment. We also weigh this up against play value, products can be made to last forever, but are a waste of resource and precious budgets if they aren't being played on and loved! Each year we undertake a site life-cycle cos�ng analysis which allows us to report on spares spend, 90% of our mid to large scale projects have an annual revenue spend of less than £200. This is an important part of our environmental impact strategy, where we review how to reduce our opera�onal impact and our carbon footprint.

We are one of the few Robinia specialists on the market who have been delivering Robinia (and other �mber) play spaces in the UK for over a decade, all of which remain in place unscathed by deteriora�ng wood and fixings.
Minimise Plas�cs in Playgrounds Our products are made from non-toxic materials and we work with a supply chain that con�nuously strives to reduce their impact on the environment, represented through IS014001 and other worldwide ini�a�ves. Our biggest push is for zero plas�cs in our play equipment, which we have now achieved with our main suppliers FHS.
FHS for example who are the creators of our natural �mber range only work with the highest quality of raw materials. Each product is made by experienced carpenters who cra� the incredible, sustainably sourced, quality products that is known to our clients here in the UK today. Each product is fully assembled in factory condi�ons, under quality management systems, and each part is made to measure with smooth joins and stainless steel fixings. One of the many benefits of working with world-class German engineering. 2010

The games available on the Toro are both physically and mentally challenging where complete awareness of the pitch and the goals are required to beat the game. Unlike a tradi�onal MUGA the range of games and the appeal is far more diverse.
The Sutu interac�ve wall is THE new way to play ball games with a wide appeal for all ages and sexes. Comprising 16 interac�ve panels made of a strong polycarbonate (used by police riot shields) each panel lights up in line with the game being played.
Young people o�en feel the most neglected and ignored in open space design, but the Fono taps into one of the strongest elements of youth culture; music and dance!
The Memo was designed in recogni�on that children learn best when they are physically ac�ve. Hence the name – Memory Movement; MeMo
The Toro is great for tac�cal and physical training as well as playing for fun. The size of the Toro allows for larger groups or teams to play as well as individuals.
The Sutu challenges both beginners and professional footballers alike, focusing on aim, speed or agility. The Sutu has already proven to be popular with football clubs, the FA and Local authori�es in the UK.
The Sona is a pla�orm for music and sound-based play that is inclusive for all ages and abili�es. With one push of a bu�on, a world of dance, imagina�on, coordina�on, mathema�cs and spelling become available. All of the games operate through a mo�on-sensi�ve camera within the roof of the arch which tracks each player. A great way to get communi�es more ac�ve from a very early age!
The Fono is essen�ally a mixing desk in the form of a shelter/dance and sea�ng area. Young people can use their own music on their smart phones to simply play back, or for any discerning DJ can take to the decks to mix, scratch, record, loop and more to create their own space for hanging out and socialising.
The seven interac�ve posts are home to a series of games designed around STEMS, providing an outdoor classroom for maths, language, memory, PE and more. Children can work in teams or individually and learning becomes a fun playful experience in the great outdoors!

VESTIBULAR
The most effec�ve way of crea�ng variety and depth of play that appeals to all children is to deliver a play space that offers a full sensory diet. The sensory wheel pictured below shows six of the seven senses (taste is a tricky sense to deliver in a playground!) which we always strive to deliver in our playground designs. A sensory diet is important for every child and in fact every human being, not unlike a muscle, the more you use it the more effec�ve it is. Some children don’t get to ‘prac�ce’ using their senses, quite o�en the ves�bular and propriocep�on senses are engaged less for children with more physical disabili�es and equally some children on the au�sm spectrum require higher engagement in these senses, but if play equipment isn’t designed to be accessible then even the playground will not allow them to engage these senses. The sensory wheel is a great guide for delivering inclusive play, coupled with the use of PiPA, (Plan Inclusive Play Areas) toolkit and Jupiter Play have specialists within this field to help you deliver your inclusive playground.

Active Inspired Designs Jupiter Play has been designing spaces for over twenty years which has enabled us to observe how children move within them. Most children will approach a play space with high energy and o�en the feel of a space can be quite hec�c. The real challenge is to inspire the more reluctant children or those unable to engage in physical ac�vity with as much rigour. Our design approach is to work with the Fundamental Movement Skill framework and create spaces that offer a breadth of ac�ve experiences that are inclusive to everyone.

There were several reasons why Jupiter Play were chosen. These included their innovative designs of equipment and the ability to design bespoke play experiences. The outcomes were two outstanding play facilities and Harwoods Adventurous Play Area has now been awarded a Green Flag Award. Throughout the whole process, Jupiter were excellent working with the client to produce a scheme that had a wow factor and would be destination play facilities. Maintenance has been excellent with very few repairs required over the last 18 months.
I would say that the play area is our USP, I may be being biased but I believe we have the best free to enter playground in Nottingham. We have had a 20% uplift in visitor numbers since the playground has been installed. I can safely say this playground was totally worthwhile in terms of ROI. The playground has been so successful that the need for more phases to the space is obvious. We have had no outgoing costs for maintenance issues. There is nothing I would change about the process and partnership we have had from Jupiter Play and I would definitely recommend them!

I’ve been working with Jupiter Play on several projects in Essex over several years. I believe they are one of the few playground suppliers that truly understand inclusion and consider the needs of children of all abilities.
We found the input on the creative side to be of the highest quality. Original and imaginative. This company also demonstrate a genuine interest in their field of work and expertise in ensuring inclusivity both in design and end delivery.
Their approach is non-tokenistic, and it is good to see how they embed the principles of PiPA in their designs. Family and young people’s voices are embedded within their designs and as such children and young people fully embrace the space as their own.
The product and materials were of a very high standard. Carefully selected and demonstrating an excellent understanding of local culture and heritage as well as being aware of local constraints. Jupiter are a company where the team at all levels – designers, directors, finance officers etc. all buy into what is being contracted and why.
