Playground Trees
At Ruskins, we believe play should be as natural as it is adventurous. Our Play Trees and Play Logs bring children closer to nature, creating safe, engaging environments that spark creativity, build confidence and connect young people with the living world around them.

Natural Play, Built to Last
Every tree and log we install tells a story. Sourced responsibly and crafted with care, our Play Trees transform parks, schools and public spaces into living playgrounds.
Whether climbing, balancing, or exploring, children instinctively engage with the texture, scent, and form of real wood, an experience that no synthetic play surface can replicate.
Our play features combine sustainability, durability and imagination, turning ordinary landscapes into extraordinary spaces for discovery.
Designed for Exploration
Ruskins’ Play Trees and Logs are safe and expertly prepared for every location because we recognise that every site is unique, so we design natural play features that complement your landscape and age group.
Our teams are qualified, insured and fully accredited for on-site works where they install and repurpose trees that have reached the end of their life elsewhere, ensuring nothing goes to waste.
Why Choose Natural Play?
Nature-based play is proven to support physical development and coordination, improve imagination and problem-solving, create better emotional wellbeing and social interaction and foster an improved connection with the environment.
For developers and local authorities, natural play zones also enhance biodiversity and sustainability credentials, helping projects align with BREEAM, Building with Nature, and local planning objectives.

From Forest to Playground - The Ruskins Process
We carefully select trees suitable for play applications, which are often repurposed from our arboricultural projects. Trees are cleaned, treated, and shaped to ensure long-term stability and user safety.
Our experts work with landscape architects and play designers to create layouts that balance fun, function, and form. We also provide inspection, maintenance and replacement services to ensure your play features remain safe and inviting year after year.
For Schools, Parks & Developers
Whether you’re transforming a school playground, enhancing a public park, or adding a community play space to a new housing development, Ruskins’ Play Trees offer a sustainable, creative and visually striking alternative to plastic or metal structures.
They invite exploration, encourage social play, and reconnect communities with nature, all while enhancing landscape character.
