HOW PLAYCO PLAYGROUND MARKINGS ENHANCE PLAY, LEARNING AND SAFETY
11 Mar 2025
PlayCo’s Playground Markings bring colour, structure and durability to any play space, transforming ordinary surfaces into engaging, interactive environments. Whether it's a school, public park or commercial venue, PlayCo's high-quality playground markings encourage active play, creativity and safe movement for children of all ages. ForPark is excited to bring these vibrant, educational and fun playground markings to schools and public spaces.
What makes PlayCo’s Playground Markings such a great choice? Unlike traditional paint, which can fade and chip away over time, thermoplastic is heated and bonded to the surface, creating bright, long-lasting designs. This results in vibrant, durable playground markings that maintain their quality through years of play without constant maintenance.
BUILT TO LAST
One of the key advantages of thermoplastic markings is their durability. Unlike paint, which requires frequent touch-ups and repainting, thermoplastic is engineered to withstand high foot traffic, all-weather conditions, and daily wear and tear, keeping playgrounds looking fresh and engaging for years.
SAFE, EASY TO SEE AND DESIGNED FOR PLAY
Safety is paramount in any play environment. PlayCo’s Playground Markings feature bold colours, precise lines, and a non-slip surface, making it safer for children to engage in active play while ensuring clear visual guidance for movement and activities. Their vibrant designs also contribute to wayfinding and structured play, enhancing the overall playground experience.
LOW MAINTENANCE, HIGH VALUE
PlayCo’s Playground Markings offer long-term cost savings compared to traditional paint, requiring minimal maintenance. With a lifespan of up to ten times longer than standard painted markings, they provide a smart and cost-effective solution for councils, schools, and commercial spaces looking to enhance play areas without ongoing upkeep.
How they benefit different play spaces
Playground Markings go beyond aesthetics, they create meaningful benefits for schools, councils, and businesses looking to develop engaging, safe, and lasting play areas. Thoughtfully integrated into outdoor spaces, they complement playground equipment, define activity zones and encourage social interaction.
SCHOOLS
For schools, these markings support active learning with interactive games, number grids, and letter activities that make education fun. Their durability means less maintenance, saving time and resources, while also contributing to structured recess activities that support physical development.
PUBLIC PLAYGROUNDS
Councils and local governments appreciate thermoplastic markings for their resilience. Designed to withstand heavy foot traffic and diverse weather conditions, they remain vibrant without fading, peeling or requiring constant repairs. Additionally, they can be used to define play areas, guide movement flow, and enhance accessibility in public spaces.
COMMERCIAL PLAY AREAS
For businesses such as shopping centres, quick-service restaurants and entertainment venues, playground markings create inviting family-friendly environments. Eye-catching designs engage children, offering structured play while parents relax. Custom designs can also reinforce branding or enhance themed play areas.
