About Elevate Play
At Elevate Play, we are a leading playground equipment supplier delivering high-quality, engaging outdoor play spaces across the UK.
We work with schools, parish and town councils, and housing developers across the UK to design play environments that support children’s health, wellbeing and development.
From initial concept through to installation, our team provides a complete end-to-end service, making the process simple, efficient and tailored to your needs.
Playgrounds Shaped by Outcomes, Not Products
Many playgrounds are built around equipment.
We do things differently.
At Elevate Play, every project starts with a simple question:
What do you want this space to achieve?
Whether it’s improving physical activity, encouraging social interaction, supporting learning, or creating inclusive play opportunities – we design with purpose.
This outcome-led approach ensures every playground delivers real, measurable value for the children and communities who use it.
A Message from Our Founder
“Active play isn’t just fun, it’s vital for children’s health, learning, and wellbeing.”
— Mike Barber, Owner of Elevate Play
As a former Team GB pole vaulter, Mike has seen first-hand the impact that sport and activity can have on performance, confidence and long-term wellbeing.
That experience shapes everything we do at Elevate Play.
As a parent, Mike also understands the importance of outdoor play on a personal level:
“I have an 9-year-old son, and seeing the impact outdoor play and sport has on all aspects of his life reinforces why this work matters so much.”
This combination of professional experience and personal passion drives our mission, to create playgrounds that genuinely improve children’s lives.
