Woodley Town Council has announced the long awaited ‘destination’ play area project for Woodford Park, which will be opened in 2022.
Following a public consultation with over 700 responses, Proludic were selected from seven tendering contractors to deliver this exciting project.
The new play area will replace the old one to the rear of the Oakwood Centre.
It has been designed specifically with ‘inclusivity’ in mind, and will offer a stimulating, exciting play experience for children of all abilities.
It will include a double cableway, a sensory area, a wheelchair accessible play mound, an agility trail, a 7m tall canopy trail, seven types of swings and much more.

The play area is being funded from £200,000 developers’ contributions via Wokingham Borough Council, with £57,000 additional funding from Woodley Town Council.
The old play area closed from Monday, 10th January, in preparation for removal of the old equipment, fencing and tarmac.
A spokesperson for Woodley Town Council said: “This exciting project gives us an opportunity to deliver a fantastic new play space for residents and visitors.
No date has yet been set for the re-opening.
