Tiger’s Eye is a children’s adventure play centre based in Wimbledon, South West London. Alastair Wilson, Proprietor, decided to rejuvenate an area within the centre with a five-a-side football pitch, to coincide with the World Cup 2006, and the nation’s everlasting love of the beautiful game.
He contacted flooring specialists, Tact Enviro Ltd to discuss his plans. His main objectives were to install a safe, hardwearing floor covering and which would allow the development of a physically stimulating play/sports area. With the fast approach of summer holidays, it was also extremely important to have a quick installation, to minimise impact on his business, and indeed, an opportunity to increase revenue.
Tact’s contract team began installation, using TactTile ‘Pedestrian’ in green in an area measuring twenty metres by fourteen metres, with yellow tiles to create a border for the pitch. In addition, they incorporated a chequered black and white running circuit for children to use for other games and activities.
Not only was installation time impressive - just one day; but the overall cost effectiveness and durability of this application ensures it will be a first class winner every time!
Mr Wilson was delighted with the project, which has opened up the floor area for use for 5 –a- side tournaments, a ‘Diddi’ car track, dance, music and games – something the whole community can enjoy.
