The toilets are in need of an overhaul and a repaint new doors in the cubicles and all timber structures and the pergolas needs paint and fixing as well. At least I know my rates aren't fixing our ark in...

It looks lovely but the whole top level (bridge and towers) is boarded up (Jan 2022) so it was less fun for the older kids. Little kids didn't much notice. Hopefully it'll be repaired soon.

Be aware that though the playground is fenced, there are several entries/exits that can't be seen from one side of the fort structure to the other - hard to keep an eye on who is entering or leaving the playground area. Exploratory kids could get a long way away once...
