Sheffield-based play specialist Timberplay have won a contract at Victoria Park, London on a site adjacent to the Olympic Village.

The £330,000 deal is part of a wider HLF-funded park restoration - worth in the region of £12m - which aims to breathe new life into Victoria Park, within the London Borough of Tower Hamlets.

Working in conjunction with Landscape Architects, LDA Design and principal contractors, Geoffrey Osborne Limited the play area will include Timberplay's signature pieces, a Pyramid Tower and Climbing Forest.

Sand and water also feature heavily within the design.

Martyn Scholey, Timberplay sales and marketing director said: "To win a contract to supply our play equipment right next to the Olympic Village is a considerable coup.

"It will be seen and used by thousands of children from around the world during the Olympics and will remain in place for thousands more to use for many years after the 2012 Games have ended."
