Maze & Trail Markings
Playground maze and trail markings
Winding mazes, activity trails and character routes that guide movement, build coordination and add a sense of adventure at break time.
Overview
Playground maze and trail markings
Mazes and trails give children a route to follow and a challenge to solve. Winding paths, spirals and character trails guide movement across the playground, building coordination, balance and cooperative play.
They work brilliantly for structured, active play: a maze to puzzle through, a fitness trail to complete, or a themed adventure route to spark imagination. Every design is sized and themed to your space.
Combine with games and hopscotch markings for a full activity playground, or see all playground markings.

FAQs
Maze & Trail Markings: common questions
What are maze and trail markings?
They are painted routes, including mazes, spirals, fitness circuits and themed adventure trails, that children follow across the playground. They guide movement, add challenge and support coordination and cooperative play.
Are mazes and trails suitable for all ages?
Yes. Simple trails and small mazes suit EYFS and KS1, while larger, more complex mazes and fitness circuits work well for older pupils. We tailor the design to your age groups.
Can you design a themed trail for our school?
Yes. Alongside classic mazes we design bespoke themed trails, from dragons and pirates to school mascots, to fit your space and your school identity.
