The lighthouse play centre (pictured above right) was designed to mimic the East Usk lighthouse and is constructed with a large run way on the upper level providing additional play space and exits for the ladder, slide, sliding pole, climbing wall and net.

Children can also access the upper level through the inside of the lighthouse via a paddle staircase. Constructed from BS1088 marine ply, hardwood, a fibre glass roof and white powder coated railings, the play centre offers play for up to 39 children.


Whilst modelled on the East Usk lighthouse, this play centre provides a unique, exciting and attractive addition to any playground.

The lighthouse can be modified to include a variety of play accessories such as aerial runways and swings. The lighthouse and safety surface was also installed by Flights of Fantasy.
