Childrens Play
Children are well catered for on the park, which offers a
play area, ball court and skate-park. The park's
play facilities are kept safe by means of the council's dedicated
playground team. The facilities within the park
are inspected at least weekly by a trained playground inspector and
maintenance issues will be dealt with promptly by the two man
maintenance team. These inspections will be supplemented by a daily
check by the on-site team
Outdoor
Play
The Wardens have recently trained as Forest School
Practitioners and have created an outdoor classroom in Barri
Woods. Forest School is an
innovative approach to learning based on outdoor play in a woodland
environment. It aims to encourage and inspire
individuals of any age through positive outdoor
experiences. Sessions are student led and
encourage children to explore their environment through free
play. The Forest School training will be
put into practice for both school and public events, and will
provide a fantastic opportunity for learning about the natural
environment through play
