Riggotts’ Work Improving School Playgrounds

In addition to our surface preparation, road marking and car park line marking work within various different industries, we also create bespoke school playground line marking. As well as providing a national road lining service with services including white and yellow lining, we create fun and educational graphic line markings in a wide array of colours. There’s been a lot of press over the recent years about getting kids more active and the negative effects of decreased physical education time so the school playground is the ideal place to make some proactive changes.

We use ideas from the schools themselves as well as our own experience to create fun, educational games on the surface of their playgrounds, from the traditional hopscotch which helps to build balance, spatial awareness and muscle strength to numbered grids that encourage math skills and can be used in a variety of different ways. Outdoor physical play can also play an important part in making subjects more interesting and engaging for students. For example, we can create geographical maps of Great Britain and compasses to help spark a renewed interest in geography.

Other options such as mazes and scaled-down roadways encourage imagination, road safety awareness and teamwork. Our miniature version of road markings and road linings are clear and realistic, much like our real-life road markings created by our specialist road marking team. If your school playground has pre-existing line markings but you want a complete overhaul, Riggotts can provide a line removal service and surface preparation before applying your brand new school playground line marking.

If you have something completely unique in mind, we can work with your ideas and offer advice to create completely bespoke, vibrantly coloured and highly durable designs. As line marking contractors, we can help make your school’s playground fun and educational area without the need for maintenance or any extra equipment.
