Play area

The play area is located adjacent to the car park and play centre, incorporating the three large mounds.

The play area was completely upgraded in 2010 and has a range of equipment suitable for toddlers, juniors and teens and also includes a large BMX track and gym equipment. 

The site has a pavilion, football pitches, a basketball hoop and a kick wall.

Managing play areas

Play areas are managed closely and inspected daily; litter bins are emptied and litter or broken glass is removed. Play equipment is inspected once a week to ensure safety for continued use.

If you have visited any of our parks recently and found a problem with the equipment or with general cleanliness, please let us know.
