Understanding Costs...

★ Costs quoted are zero VAT due to partnership working with Argyll and

Bute Council

★ Costs quoted include;

○ Equipment & installation

○ Safety surface & installation

★ Costs quoted are not necessarily ‘best price’ as this will not be known

until we enter the full procurement process with Argyll and Bute

procurement team and playpark suppliers.

★ Costs quoted are based on a quote from Wicksteed, which was used in our

grant applications. These are just a guide, not the final design.

★ Different suppliers have provided cost estimates and designs in

various levels of detail, which have been on display in Atlantis since 2012.

★ When selecting our final design, we score each design on 90% play value

and 10% cost.

Phase 1 - 5 to 15

year olds design

ideas…..

£100k+

How about a sperm whale as a big centre piece?

Oban was a base in the 1930’s for flying boats (yes we know this is a

Spitfire!) Maybe we could have a plane for imaginative play?

£55k excluding surfacing

single zip £22k

Pirate Ship + Tower £67k

Rope Swing £12k

An idea of how play equipment could fit together...

£12k for 3m high

There are many options for this type of climbing tower… but the higher you

go, the higher the price as you need different surface finish for fall heights

of 3m+

£25k - £36k for 5m high

£11,000

This swing take up a large footprint but is very popular with children...

These unusual swings rotate too...

£14,500

£8k

You can’t have enough swings! This set includes a multi user basket

which most kids can use safely.

£7k

See the next slide for an all abilities swing seat which can easily be

included in this swing set...

An all abilities swing seat,

tested by 7 year old Alex

in Rouken Glen, East

Renfrewshire

£4-9k

Here’s an example of a wide slide...

Here’s another example of a slide, with a grass

mound...

This design has the wheelchair accessible wide

slide right in the middle of the action. No mound

means more space for other play equipment.

A lighthouse could be an alternative to a boat, however

to prevent ‘mischief’ it’s best to avoid enclosed spaces.

£21k

Here’s a high rope bridge...

What about something to climb on?

Formed rock is easier to install than

‘real’ rock.

£26k

Single or multi use buddy board

develops balance and surf skills.

£3.5k

Plus we’ve budgeted £8k for bins, fences, signage, seating

Could you use this ‘lean’ seat for

outdoor boot camp exercises?

Do we want a shelter?

It’s our park, let’s

look after it and keep

it litter free!

Phase 2 Multi-

sensory garden

ideas….

Some mirror panels hidden in the

multi-sensory garden?

The panels can be any colour.

Robust musical equipment for the

multi sensory garden.

No plastic and if beaters go missing,

you can always use your hands or

whatever else you want to use!

Natural hand carved

seating and

characters...

What about a story teller chair for visiting

nurseries, pre-schools and schools?

Plus we’ve budgeted £8.5k for a wheelchair

accessible path for the multi sensory garden.

This is our community playpark and we need your

feedback...

What’s important to you?

Have we missed anything?
