Play Facilities
The site has a large outdoor playspace including zip-wires and basket swings. Roller skates and other equipment are freely available from the centre for use across the site. There is an area for under-eights to play away from the older children if needed and a large wooden play structure for climbing, running, hiding... Let your imagination lead. A tree house and play huts offer the opportunity for setting up cosy dens.
A wildlife pond is located to the rear of the site (fenced off for safety) and fire pits are available for use with support from the Playworkers.
Fully accessible toilets are available in the centre, as is a Community Cafe selling drinks and snacks.
The Allotment
Near the centre is an allotment area where the children grow seasonal vegetables and where the small animals are housed, including chickens, guinea pigs and Nancy and Mavis, our Kunekune pigs who love their vegetable peeling scraps delivered by the local community!
