Percussion Play helps landscape architects create places people want to gather, explore, and remember. As demand grows for inclusive, wellness-focused, and experience-driven public spaces, outdoor musical instruments are increasingly being specified as interactive placemaking features that encourage connection, creativity, and engagement across generations.

As the leading specialist in outdoor musical instruments, Percussion Play partners with landscape architects, parks professionals, municipalities, schools, healthcare providers, and community organizations worldwide to transform ordinary outdoor spaces into vibrant destinations. Whether incorporated into public parks, urban plazas, educational campuses, healthcare settings, sensory gardens, or nature play environments, musical installations create memorable experiences that encourage participation, discovery, and social interaction.

Trusted by designers in more than 75 countries, Percussion Play combines British craftsmanship with proven expertise in creating outdoor musical experiences for the public realm. Every instrument is engineered for exceptional durability, accessibility, and all-weather performance, using premium materials including stainless steel, anodized aluminum, and other carefully selected components chosen for their longevity and environmental performance. The result is a collection of low-maintenance products designed to withstand the demands of high-traffic environments while delivering outstanding sound quality for years to come.

 

Our extensive portfolio includes melodic and percussion-based instruments, from marimbas and chimes to drums and complete musical ensembles. ADA-compliant and intuitive to play, they invite engagement from people of all ages, abilities, and backgrounds, supporting inclusive design objectives while fostering intergenerational play and meaningful community connection.

More than a recreational feature, outdoor musical instruments function as social infrastructure within the landscape - activating underutilized spaces, enriching the sensory experience, and encouraging people to linger, interact, and connect. Increasingly specified within therapeutic landscapes, wellness-focused developments, and community-centered public spaces, they provide a unique opportunity to support health, wellbeing, and a strong sense of place through the universal language of music.

To support specification and project delivery, Percussion Play provides comprehensive technical resources, including specification sheets, CAD drawings, installation guides, and high-resolution imagery. Designers can obtain files directly from Percussion Play or download them from CADdetails at percussionplay.caddetails.com, streamlining specification, coordination, and project delivery from concept through construction.
