Jupiter Play is a small company based in West Bridgford that has come a long way from installing single swing sets, to delivering one of the biggest, boldest, and most exciting play projects in the UK.
Directors are husband and wife Michael and Catherine Hoenigmann who, 25 years ago, had a vision to transform play provision.
They have been delivering innovation, excitement, and industry leading playground designs ever since, culminating in their biggest project to date, Butlin’s SKYPARK.
This modern design utilises some of the most innovative play equipment on the market, carefully selected from industry leading partners to provide a unique, fully inclusive, and technologically empowered experience.
Accessibility and inclusivity have been placed at the heart of Butlin’s SKYPARK from the design stage right through to implementation.
It’s vital that play parks cater for those with special educational needs and those with disabilities.
With interactive play; sensory zones; wheelchair trampolines; an inclusive seesaw; accessible swings on the UK’s longest swingline; and illumination throughout, Butlin’s SKYPARK really does have something for everyone.
Incorporating accessibility at every stage ensures SEND and disabled children can be included, not in separate spaces but alongside other children. SKYPARK represents an ideal template for accessibility and inclusion that all play parks should seek to follow.
Butlin’s has already been able to map the advantages of SKYPARK with increased Net Promoter Score, increased rebooking’s, and higher spend in the adjacent café. However, this isn’t just about improving businesses.
Play is a fundamental aspect of development, of health, and of learning. Revitalising play should be a key consideration for communities and businesses alike. Butlin’s sets the standard for this and, in collaboration with Jupiter Play & Leisure, shows us what the future of play can look like.
