Snug and Play
Re-imagining the playground
Snug is an award-winning play equipment system that transforms school grounds and public spaces into creative, sociable play environments. Unlike traditional, fixed playground equipment, Snug consists of modular shapes that children can join together to create their own exciting play landscapes. Made from soft, tactile materials that are highly durable and waterproof, Snug requires no installation and comes with its own storage system.
The Snug playground kit is changing primary and early years playgrounds into dynamic, social spaces for both play and learning. Snug is also enhancing public spaces such as Gillett Square in Hackney, London, and the new Kings Cross development, where a 'soft play' area featuring Snug elements offers young children a chance to play and create.
