Didnt go into the play area in this occasion, went at the end of a dog walk to let my dog have a run around. Lovely open field. Friendly staff at the cafe that's on site.

Update 10th of April 2023: THIS PLAYGROUND BECOME EXTREMELY DANGEROUS for small children. The very nice three wooden structures were replaced by one metal obstacle course ended one side small pipe tunnel slide, on the other side is very small metal slide. BUT THE WORST AND DANGEROUS THING IS CAROUSEL - ROUNDABOUT. The construction of roundabout cause harm to children below 4 years old. First of all a turning roundabout is extremely dangerous for every child who approach to it, especially small children who doesn't pay attention or doesn't understand danger of moving objects. I was witnessing 3 accidents with this roundabout during my two visits on this playground in two days of Easter. About two years old child come close to roundabout and then I heard metalic pipe bang and seen two years old child flew away over one meter away from roundabout after fast moving - spinning metal pipe on the edge of roundabout hit into his head. When the child got awake cried very extremely. Other time my daughter was on the roundabout. Older children came and joined the play on it. One of the biggest girl speeded up the roundabout so much my daughter almost flew away from the roundabout due to centrifugal force. I had to stopped the roundabout hard in order to prevent accident. A few minutes later other child about 3 years old flew away from the roundabout due to centrifugal force. Next day other child come too close fast spinning roundabout and got hit hard by the fast moving edge pipe of the roundabout. I suspect both crash accident ended up at A&E Hospital because they looked seriously hard hit and children were thrown away from the roundabout and were extremely upset. I found the swings were replaced as well for new ones but new ones feels and look wobbly. Additionally bearings are too tight and constantly requires apply of force in order to swing the child. But the worst thing is the chains are not secured against unauthorised change and some bored youth under influence of some substances can alter the way of hang the chains and cause accident someone on the swing. My previous opinion from 2020 - 2022 year: Good playground. A few swings for small children and for bigger ones, carousel - roundabout, smal slide with tunnel, medium slide and big slide, another small tunnel, ladders and climbing spaces. There was zip line as well, but it's damage since months, maybe years.
