# Okehill Design
Okehill Design Ltd is a specialist playground design consultancy based in Dorset, offering freelance design services to schools, local authorities, community organisations and private clients seeking to create engaging play spaces. With two decades of experience in the play industry, the business combines technical expertise with creative vision to transform play area concepts into compelling visual proposals.
The company serves clients at various stages of the planning process, from initial concept through to detailed specifications. Whether working on new playground installations, refurbishments or expansions, Okehill Design listens carefully to individual requirements to develop site-specific solutions tailored to each client's needs, budget and constraints.
What sets Okehill Design apart is their comprehensive design delivery capability. Rather than offering generic solutions, they produce bespoke outputs in multiple formats—from technical 2D CAD layouts and rendered plans to immersive 3D visual presentations. This multi-format approach enables clients to visualise proposals clearly, secure stakeholder buy-in and make informed decisions before construction begins. The business also provides practical budget cost estimates, helping clients understand financial implications early in the planning process.
Their credibility is underscored by memberships with leading play industry bodies including API (Association of Play Industries), Play England, FSPA (Fields in Trust), SAPCA and Play Inspectors UK. This professional standing reflects their commitment to safety standards, best practice and industry knowledge—essential when designing spaces where children play.
