Pop-Up Forest Play Parks 

Bringing the excitement of the great outdoors to children, our pop-up forest play parks offer a unique and memorable experience for kids. Our parks are designed to be set up in any suitable woodland space, typically close to urban areas for easy access for schools and organisations.

Our play parks are built in beautiful forest clearings, near trees that are close together. We put together a range of park elements that form the park as a whole which are:

  • Low Ropes Course
  • Giant Hammocks
  • Swings
  • Zipline
  • The Scambling Net
  • Equipment for the children to build their own swings and create the park themselves

A Fun and Safe Outdoor Experience for Children

Our setup process begins early at 6:30 am to ensure we have ample time to build a play park that is both safe and fun. We use only the latest equipment from the best quality suppliers, all of which have been tested. 

At Pop-Up Forest Play Parks, we are committed to leaving the forest exactly as we found it. After the session is over, we fully tidy up the space, ensuring that there is no negative impact on the woodland. This is a fantastic way to get hundreds of children to enjoy the woods while preserving the natural beauty of the forest.

If you are looking for a fun and safe outdoor experience for your school or organisation, look no further than Pop-Up Forest Play Parks. Our play parks can comfortably accommodate 60 children at once. Contact us today to schedule your next adventure!

Low Ropes Course

The course is similar to a giant climbing frame or low-level tree climbing adventure and is made safe and secure using slack-line technology, for high tension ensuring stability. With the course mainly being one meter off the ground, it is suitable for younger children. For older children, we create more challenging sections that are up to two meters high for added excitement.

The area beneath the course is carefully checked for any hazards that could harm a fallen climber, with rocks or broken branches removed or covered.

Giant Hammocks

We have heavy-duty all-weather hammocks, which are secured using ratchet technology and can hold either 6 or 12 children at a time. The hammocks are strategically placed within the park to act as fun platforms to climb on and off and can also be used as a quiet place for children to relax. We have enough hammocks to accommodate 48 children at any given time.

Super Swings

The park also features two rope swings, custom built by us, that swing forward and backwards and come equipped with side ropes for balance. The swings are strong enough to hold two children at a time and add to the overall play park experience.

Zip Line

The centrepiece of our park is a 20-meter zipline, which is a thrilling experience. It is designed to foster teamwork and cooperation as children work together, one on the zipline and the other pulling them to send them down the rope.

The Scrambling Net

Our personal favourite of the park, truly hilarious fun!

Quite simply a big net to roll about in and generally get stuck.  We build this into the ropes course or have it as a stand-alone park feature.  The net is always kept low to the ground so it is easy to get on and off.  Secured with ropes and ratchets it can hold up to 6 children at a time.

Build your own swing

Finally, we bring along ropes and swing parts, enabling children to build their own rope swings and learn new skills in knot work. We find children get inspired by the park and want to get involved with its construction, this adds to the overall experience of playing and enjoying the session.

How to book

At present, we operate from four sites, which are North Cliff Woods in Shipley, Thackley Woods, Hirst Wood in Saltaire, and Middleton Woods in Ilkley. We are capable of working in any woodland that provides suitable access and space so if you have your own local site you'd like to use we'd be happy to visit it and work out a park plan.

This service is perfect for schools, organisations or special family events.  In terms of how many people can attend it is really up to you, we have successfully carried out day events for groups of 15-30 children right up to an entire school of 360 children.

If you require a large-scale or small-scale pop-up park, do get in touch with us. We would be pleased to tailor a solution to meet your requirements.
