Take A Look At Our Work

At Willow Park School, sport is part of everyday life. The pupils already had a ball wall, but it was plain and didn’t add much colour or energy. SchoolsGrass were asked to give it a lift, and the result is something eye-catching and useful. The wall has been covered in artificial grass, which straight away softens the look and makes it feel fresh.

Built into the grass are circle targets in different sizes, cut in white and blue. The choice of colours wasn’t random - they match the school’s own colours, which makes the design feel personal and unique to Willow Park. The targets give the children something clear to aim for.

Bigger circles are great for younger kids or casual games, while the smaller ones make things more challenging. It means everyone can use the wall in a way that suits them. Some kick footballs, others practise throwing, and plenty just use it for quick games at break time.

What stands out most is how it looks. The white and blue circles pop against the green background, and because the colours tie into the school identity, the wall feels like part of the place rather than just equipment added in. It’s simple but really effective. Teachers like it too. The wall is more engaging now, so it’s easier to bring into PE lessons or skill drills. It doesn’t need setup or supervision beyond normal use - it’s just there, ready to go. The artificial grass surface is tough, low-maintenance, and will handle plenty of use without wearing down. This project shows how artificial grass can be used creatively, not just for pitches and play areas but on features like walls. For Willow Park, the ball wall is now colourful, fun, and a big hit with pupils. For SchoolsGrass, it’s another example of turning a small idea into something that makes a lasting difference.
