Pirate Ship Sandpit – Themed Playground Sand Play Boat in Durable HDPE for Schools, Nurseries & Parks
Turn your sand area into a mini adventure cove with this Pirate Ship Sandpit, a large themed sand play boat ideal for schools, nurseries, parks and visitor attractions. The raised ship-style sides help to contain the sand while creating an instant role-play setting for pirate games, treasure hunts and imaginative play. Manufactured from heavy-duty HDPE panels with wood-effect detailing, the Pirate Ship Sandpit is weather-resistant, fade-resistant and simple to maintain. A central play table provides extra space for filling buckets, mixing sand “potions” or sorting small loose parts. The bow, stern and side panels include engraved detailing such as an anchor motif and ship’s wheel, helping to support storytelling, cooperative play and early language development. This statement sand unit offers high play value in a compact footprint and is perfect for EYFS and KS1 outdoor spaces that want something more exciting than a standard rectangular sandpit.
