Are you ready for July 4th

Is your play area / outdoor gym ready for the big re-opening this weekend? Get in touch today for parts, spares and any safety or maintenance queries you may have. 

In line with the government’s planned reopening of playgrounds and outdoor gyms, Wicksteed would like to offer some helpful advice prior to the reopening.

* Follow all government guidance. This is an ever-changing situation and it is important to know the facts.

* Wherever possible try and follow all government guidelines with regards to social distancing.

* Practise good hand hygiene with regular hand washing and the use of WHO-recommended hand sanitizers before and after visiting a playground.

* Try to avoid crowded areas. If a playground is exceptionally busy it may be best to avoid it and come back when it is quieter.
