Pettitts Animal Adventure Farm approached us with a grand vision: to create a truly immersive and engaging play experience that would set them apart.

They wanted something monumental, something that would capture the imagination of children and adults alike, and encourage extended stays. Our answer?

Crafting a Legend: The Playscheme Difference in Pirate Themed Play

At Playscheme, our reputation is built on a foundation of uncompromising quality and safety. We understand that durability is paramount in high-traffic environments like farm parks. That’s why the majority of our magnificent Pirate Ship is constructed from Robinia hardwood, famed for its beautiful, natural shapes, exceptional strength, and remarkable resistance to rot and decay. This isn’t just about aesthetics; it’s about building play structures that will withstand the test of time, the elements, and the enthusiastic energy of countless young pirates. All our designs and materials adhere strictly to European standards (EN 1178 & EN 1177), ensuring paramount safety and robust durability for every piece of Pirate themed play equipment we install.

Our commitment to excellence meant that every element of this grand vessel was designed with imagination and interactive play at its core. From the moment children spy the towering masts and weathered planks, they are transported to a world of high-seas adventure.

Unfurl the Sails! Exploring the High-Flying Features of Our Pirate Ship Play Area

Where do we even begin with the astounding features of this 31-metre behemoth? This isn’t just a static structure; it’s a living, breathing play environment waiting to be explored!

One of the undeniable highlights is the thrilling 3m tube slide. Imagine the rush as children, shouting “Walk the plank!” (figuratively, of course), descend with glee, eager to race back up and do it all again. It’s a fantastic element that provides both exhilaration and a quick route back to the heart of the action.

No pirate ship would be complete without its armaments, and ours boasts life-sized cannons! These are not just decorative; they invite children to engage in epic battles of imagination, defending their ship from imaginary kraken or rival buccaneers. The sense of realism these elements bring to the Pirate Ship play area is truly remarkable.

At the helm, a Ships wheel awaits its captain. This simple yet powerful feature allows children to pretend to be a Pirate and sail the seven seas!, steering their vessel through stormy waters or guiding it to hidden treasure islands. It’s an instant portal to imaginative narratives and role-playing.

The design encourages exploration at every turn with numerous bridges and tunnels to explore. Children can navigate their way through the ship’s intricate layout, discovering new pathways and secret hideouts. This labyrinthine quality encourages problem-solving and physical agility.

For those seeking a bit of subterranean adventure, the lower deck is a realm of its own, which includes an internal slide that offers another exciting descent. This hidden gem adds an extra layer of discovery, inviting children to delve deeper into the ship’s mysteries.

Beyond the main vessel, the surrounding area offers even more opportunities for fun. Children can enjoy playing in the sand pit area, digging for buried gold or constructing sandcastles that might just stand a chance against the incoming tide of playful imagination.

And for the more adventurous souls, climbing the rigging and nets offers a true test of strength and agility, allowing them to ascend to the ship’s crow’s nest, scanning the horizon for rival ships or new adventures. This feature is particularly popular with older children looking for a challenge.

We also ensured that the Smugglers’ Cove caters to all ages. A smaller ship for younger children and toddlers to enjoy with their adult provides a safe and engaging space for the littlest pirates to embark on their own adventures, complete with age-appropriate challenges and features. And for the truly inquisitive, there’s always the thrill of finding the secret entrance!, a hidden gem that adds an extra layer of mystery and excitement to the play experience.
