Playground & Decorative Railing - Lost Kingdom, Paultons Park

OVERVIEW

Paultons Park expands with new Dinosaur-Themed Adventure Park


As part of an expansion project, Paultons Park located in The New Forest, Hampshire, added a new dinosaur-themed adventure park called ‘Lost Kingdom’.


The development includes two world-class roller coasters, Jurassic-themed family rides, and adventure play parks and playgrounds.


IAE Fencing was approached by the development contractor to supply decorative railings around the playgrounds and along the roller coaster and family rides queueing paths to increase safety and manage the visitor foot traffic.


IAE Playspec Playground Fencing


Around the playgrounds, IAE recommended IAE Playspec Playground Fencing. This is a BS EN 1176 Playground Equipment and RoSPA compliant metal railing system designed to clearly demarcate play areas, and be safe for children. It has no pointy edges or trap or pinch points, to minimise the chase of injury.


Access to the play areas was provided by IAE’s Prosafe Playground Gate. This is a speed controlled self closing unit complying with the same safety specifications as the Playspec Playground Fence.


To complete the look the railing was colour-matched to the theme of the park, as shown in the images above.


IAE Blore Ball Top Railings


For the railing along the roller coaster ride paths, the contractor chose IAE Blore Ball Top Railings. 


This system provided an elegant solution to managing the queues and keeping park visitors away from potentially hazardous areas under the roller coasters. 


It was finished off with an eye-catching alternating colour finish.


IAE Duex Edge Protection


A section of IAE Duex Edge Protection was also supplied to guard against a steep drop falling away from a path that ran alongside a visitor area. 


This system has been load tested up to 1.5kN/m and specified as suitably robust for the application, providing the necessary safety factor, without being too intrusive on the overall look of the park.
