Illuminating Inclusive Play

Designing with Ambition

Jupiter Play has delivered one of our most ambitious projects to date: Butlin’s SKYPARK, Minehead.

Heralded as the UK’s most exciting playground, SKYPARK is designed with inclusivity, interactivity, and illumination at its core. It features six zones spread across two play areas, ensuring that children of all abilities can enjoy the fun together.

With interactive play, sensory zones, wheelchair trampolines, an inclusive seesaw, accessible swings on the UK’s longest swingline, and illumination throughout, Butlin’s SKYPARK really does have something for everyone.

Incorporating accessibility at every stage ensures SEND and disabled children can be included, not in separate spaces but alongside other children. SKYPARK represents an ideal template for accessibility and inclusion that all play parks should seek to follow.

The Impact

Butlin’s has already been able to map the advantages of SKYPARK with increased Net Promoter Score, increased rebooking’s, and higher spend in the adjacent café. However, this isn’t just about improving businesses.

Play is a fundamental aspect of development, of health, and of learning. Revitalising play should be a key consideration for communities and businesses alike. Butlin’s sets the standard for this and, in collaboration with Jupiter Play & Leisure, shows us what the future of play can look like.

“To see all the kids having so much fun on it, it’s tremendous. You can see the smiles on people’s faces, and many kids have never experienced anything like it. Seeing a playground on this scale with so many different experiences and things to do is amazing. It was one of the biggest projects that we’ve ever delivered. We’ve worked on it for a long time, and it’s great to see it come to fruition.”
