Our Work
Gloucestershire, 2026
Wick and Abson Parish Council in South Gloucestershire invited us to transform their popular park. We designed as a focal point a handsome Galleon with lots of ups and downs, moored alongside a large spiders web. We also built an agility trail and a twin tower play structure for smaller children.
South Gloucestershire
Despite limited space and budget, we managed to squeeze a lot of play features into this public park. Swings, monkey bars, a grass mound and tunnel linked by bridges to a pair of platforms and a balance trail.
South Gloucestershire
We were commissioned to build a fun grandchildren’s tree house which also had to look fab. Includes beam bridge, floor hatch, Larch cladding, Cedar shingle roof and stained glass windows.
Bristol
This popular city centre nursery has a great mix of structured and free play. The centrepiece is a pair of tree platforms linked by a rope bridge. We created this play structure as the centre piece of a larger project with a bike track. There’s an artificial grass mound and tunnel, living walls, mud and sand play, rubber surfacing and other play equipment. This platform has a shop window below. The cut out leaf shapes have coloured acrylic which project autumn colours inside the space when it’s sunny.
Chris has recently built a majestic cedar shingled roof for the sandpit at our nursery school. Not only does it look beautiful, and remind our children of the barn at Leigh Woods, it will be great in all weathers. Chris has also done plenty of other work for us, including a full playground redevelopment and is always on hand to support with maintenance and upkeep. We’re pleased with the quality and value for money that Monkey Business provides.

Across the South West
Everything we design and build is original and solidly made. Big on character, play value and value for money. Low on enviro footprint. Fancy your own tropical cabana, jungle tree house, wonky cottage or your own home in miniature? How about a charming little town with a mill, blacksmith, baker etc for your museum play area? Our imaginations are the limit.
