After considerable discussion at the Management Committee and some excellent work from Graham Dowland and others in a specially formed Playground sub-committee, an order has been placed for a new playground to be installed at the old playground site.
An image of the playground is attached – after the initial installation of equipment there will follow an installation of safe-fall matting.
Thanks go out to all who helped with the discussions, planning, stump and old-playground removal to prepare for this major improvement at our Club.

This looks great for younger children, but would it be possible also to have one of those horizontal ladders that kids swing along using their arms? Our five year old grandson loves these. An alternative would be the Arch Bar on the Forpark website- (individual components). Either of these would be more interesting and attractive to slightly older kids than the single horizontal pole in the picture. They wouldn’t pose a risk to younger kids, as they couldn’t get up there. The set pictured doesn’t really have enough climbing stuff for older children.

Playground is great for young kids, not much for the older ones though. It would be great if it had a fence around it with an automatic shuting gate as this would make us as parents much more relaxed and would also potentially attract more young families to the club.
