The playground is located near a school which caters for pupils aged between 2 and 19 with learning difficulties, many of these children have complex needs including autism, physical difficulties, and sensory impairments, and after consultation with the school the play area now includes a plastic pod swing, a roundabout that will take a wheelchair and the colours are subtle, so not to be overwhelming. The new playground is now located so dog walkers can still enjoy the park without having to walk through the play area and the larger footprint has allowed for more equipment with items suitable for a greater age group and pieces suitable for children with additional needs. This project was to redevelop and relocate the existing children’s playground, which was coming to the end of its life, replacing it with a play area which would provide a range of fun and challenging equipment in a secure and safe environment and no longer be split by an access path through the park.
