Introduction:

St Paul's Adventure Playground is an inclusive play facility for children aged 5 -15. Under 5s are welcome but must be accompanied by an adult.

We are open access, which means that children and young people can come and go as they please.

Facilities/Activities:

The playground has a large building for activities, outside there is a large area to run around including an extensive aerial walkway amongst mature trees, accessible to wheel chair users, den making areas, a ball court area, sand and water play and a pirate ship.

Recent developments:

Major improvements to St Paul’s Adventure Playground were completed in 2010 under the Play Pathfinder programme funded by the Department of Children, Schools and Families. 

This site was chosen as a site for investment under the Pathfinder programme through an assessment process, which involved a review of location, appropriate size, visibility, recent investment (or lack of), relationship to other regeneration programmes, child density and expected relationship within the emerging Plans for the Parks and Green Space Strategy.

The budget for the site was determined by the size and potential scope of the project in relation to the Pathfinder resources, together with the identification of any additional funding available from sources other than Pathfinder.
