Sunken Ship

512-SHF

The Sunken Ship is a pirate ship playground built as a wreck broken in two, and we supply it as four separate elements – a towering stern, a part-sunken bow, a mast and a cargo crate. The elements can be reoriented, spaced across a wider area or left out on request. It suits destination playgrounds, schools or coastal developments.

Children reach the stern deck by climbing wall, by plank door panel or by the rope ladder tucked under the deck. They cross the V-rope walk to the bow, climb the angled deck past painted gold-coin handholds, and exit by the rope net. Randomly missing planks keep supervision sightlines open beneath the stern. Built for destination parks, a sunken ship playground pairs pirate storytelling with real physical challenge.

We craft the Sunken Ship in our O’Connor WA workshop from durable West Australian Jarrah, detailed to resemble weathered planking. Durable metal fittings secure the rope elements, including the coconut-rope spine of the V-rope walk. Porthole windows, a ship’s wheel and a carved cutlass and oar complete the wreck. The structure is designed in accordance with AS 4685, and impact-attenuating surfacing is required throughout the designated fall zone.

Installation available across Perth and WA, or supply-only Australia-wide with installation drawings for your contractor. Interactive maze, game and puzzle panels can be added on request. The mast can also be configured as one leg of a double-pole basket swing, extending the theme across a wider play area. Theming, colours and detailing can suit your destination brief.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the Sunken Ship need softfall surfacing?

Yes. The Sunken Ship has a free height of fall of 1500mm, and impact-attenuating surfacing is required throughout the designated fall zone.

What age group is the Sunken Ship for?

The Sunken Ship suits children aged 3 years and over. A climbing wall, a plank door panel and a hidden rope ladder reach the stern deck, then a V-rope walk crosses to the angled bow deck, so the whole structure is one journey.

Can the Sunken Ship be reconfigured or supplied in part?

Yes. The Sunken Ship comes as four separate elements, the stern, bow, mast and crate, so a site can take some and not others. The mast with its ragged sail is configurable as a basket-swing leg where a project wants that.
