Playground Markings for Fun Learning and Active Play
At Designs & Lines, we create, supply, and install outdoor playground markings that are as practical to care for as they are imaginative to play on. From pre-school playground accessories to games for primary and full-scale sports courts for secondary settings, we help transform empty outdoor areas into engaging, exciting, and active spaces children can enjoy all year round.
With over 10,000 installations completed across the UK, we’ve built a reputation for quality, creativity and unbeatable customer care.
Thermoplastic Means Markings That Last
All our playground line markings are made from high-quality thermoplastic, a long-lasting, anti-slip material that’s far superior to traditional paint. It doesn’t just look better for longer, either; it’s safer underfoot, dries quickly (in as little as 20 minutes), and can be applied with minimal disruption to the school day.
Our products come with a 4-year warranty and are proven to last 8–10 times longer than paint, even in high-traffic areas.

Games and Activities at Every Age
e work with schools, nurseries, children’s centres, and even local councils across the UK to deliver brilliant school playground markings tailored to each setting. That includes:
- Pre-school playground markings with simple shapes, roadways, or animal trails
- Playground markings for primary schools that encourage social interaction, teamwork and physical activity
- Outdoor markings for secondary schools to support sport, fitness and wellbeing
We also know that every school is different, and comes with its own space, needs, and goals. That’s why everything we do is tailored to you.
Creative. Educational. Inclusive.
We believe the most fun and active playgrounds combine physical play with learning opportunities. That’s why we’ll be happy to help you design:
- Game markings that require equipment like hopscotch, snakes & ladders, and target throws
- Sensory circuit markings to support focus, movement, and regulation
- Playground road markings to teach road safety, spatial awareness and imaginative play
- Learning-based designs for numeracy, phonics, world maps, clocks, and more
All our designs are colourful, engaging, and built to support active learning and wellbeing. Whether you’re trying to encourage movement at break times or add some excitement to outdoor lessons, we’ve got a solution that fits.
Bespoke Playground Markings and Accessories
Looking for something unique? We offer a fully bespoke service if you want something that’s just for your school! Using our specialist waterjet cutting technology, we can create custom playground accessories and markings that reflect your values, colours or themes.
We also love bringing children’s ideas to life. If your pupils have a creative vision for their playground, we’ll work with you to turn it into something special they can enjoy for years to come.
Full Site Surveys and a Stress-Free Installation
For larger projects or more complex spaces, we’re happy to carry out a full site survey. Using drone technology (or satellite imagery where needed), we’ll provide a clear proposal that shows how your playground markings will look once complete, making it easy for school leaders to visualise the result.
When it comes to installation, we’ll work around your schedule, including break times or weekends if needed. Our fast-drying materials and efficient team mean your playground will look brand-new and be ready to use in no time.
