Playground design The playground should cater for toddlers to children aged 7. Equipment should include a selection of the following activities: swinging, climbing, sliding, balancing and imaginative play. The playground should be themed to fit in with its environment (e.g. river, wildlife, historic heritage - rope making) and include the use of natural materials. The council would like to see one distinctive piece of equipment and at least one piece of equipment suitable for disabled children. A bench and a child themed litter bin are also required. The council is aware of the popularity of traditional cradle swings for toddlers and in addition would welcome a new basket type swing. New innovative ideas are welcome in the scheme as well as tried and tested equipment. The council is hoping to attract young families to the riverside area from the town and surrounding villages.
