The new play area has been designed with inclusivity in mind, and will offer a stimulating, exciting play experience for children of all abilities, according to Woodley Town Council.

It includes a double cableway, a sensory area, a wheelchair accessible play mound, an agility trail, a 7m tall canopy trail, and seven types of swings.

This play area was funded from £200,000 developers’ contributions via Wokingham Borough Council, with £57,000 additional funding from Woodley Town Council.

It is located to the rear of the Oakwood Centre
