Upgrades completed on Abingdon playground

A range of new activities – including accessible equipment – have been installed as part of a playground redevelopment in Abingdon, Oxfordshire.

Vale of White Horse District Council secured funding for a project to refurbish the Cotman Close play area in the town.

The new-look play area includes swings, a rope bridge and a trampoline among other equipment. Work on the site is now complete and it reopened in mid-April during the school Easter holidays.

Families can now enjoy fully accessible play equipment and picnic tables in the area. A butterfly ‘game station’ offers a combination of sensory, tactile and fun activities and puzzles, while an inclusive toddler unit also features a wheelchair ramp making the area more accessible.
