Safety Measures

What we have done:

• Added hand sanitiser stations around the playground and leading to the Woodland Trail
• Latched the Woodland Trail gate open so all you need to do is push the gate with your elbow. There is no need to handle the latch
• Made the Commando Trail one way
• Made picnic tables available and well-spaced out for your safety
• Increased our cleaning regime of the Playground equipment
• Closed off some of the more enclosed areas of Playground Equipment

What we ask of you:

• Please ensure that you and your family/ bubble remain socially distanced from other groups at all times
• Please ensure the children in your care make use of the hand sanitiser provided before and after using the Playground equipment
• Please be aware that the Adventure Playground carries a larger element of risk due to the numerous potential contact areas. As such it is your responsibility to assess which parts of the playground you are comfortable for your family/ group to use
• All children who make use of the Adventure Playground must be under adult supervision at all times. No liability will be accepted for any personal injury sustained whilst using the equipment
