Cliff-top park




Perched up high on the cliff top, Filey Country Park is already a notable landmark but with the addition of a Timberplay Climbing Structure this prominent park is now more attractive than ever before. The new £100,000 playground was jointly funded by Scarborough Council and the Play Builder program, seeking to widen the appeal of the park and provide much needed play facilities for the town’s children.

The project was managed by Groundwork North Yorkshire who developed plans to create a natural playspace which utilised challenging and innovative equipment to create something out of the ordinary for the Filey community. Tom Mutton, Project Manager at Groundwork comments:-

“We wanted to create a groundbreaking playground for the East Coast. With 2- 7 year olds already being catered for reasonably well within the park we were looking to enhance the provision for children of 8 and over. We feel we have definitely achieved that and are extremely proud of our play area, the Timberplay equipment specifically looks brilliant, particularly the formidable Climbing Structure.”

With the park being exposed to the elements it was important that all equipment selected was robust enough to stand up to the Maritime exposure. Generous timbers and durable wood means Timberplay is a well chosen supplier for this and other seaside projects.
