When learning meets sustainability, every detail matters. Even underfoot!
At Frakkagjerd Youth School, nestled in the charming municipality of Tysvær, in Norway, this playground has become a living example of how environmentally responsible choices can shape inspiring spaces for young minds.
This transformation was made possible through the Corkeen system, a solution designed to provide safe, comfortable, and inviting places to spend quality time.
What truly stands out in this one-of-a-kind project is the warm tones and organic texture of cork, which create a natural connection between play and Nature.
Sandvik Play, our exclusive Brand Master for this market, was responsible for the meticulous installation of our unique surface, ensuring every square metre was laid with precision and care.
Covering 844 m², Corkeen was installed to seamlessly complement the surrounding sports areas, play equipment, and outdoor furniture - all to provide continuity, accessibility, and resilience under heavy daily use.
But the benefits don’t stop here! Made from a natural, recyclable and renewable material, it also delivers superior safety, comfort, and durability.
The outcome? Students can now run and explore freely, enjoying every moment in a vibrant and welcoming spot surrounded by trees and fresh air.

Applied solution
Beyond its natural aesthetic, the Corkeen system performs exceptionally in different weather conditions.
With Tysvær’s frequent rain and humid winters, the excellent drainage capacity of our product ensures water passes straight through, leaving the surface dry and non-slip.
This means everyone is able to play and have fun without worrying about the risk of injuries from falls.
