Features

The water park has 15 jets, weirs for making dams and a bridge and there is a forest hut for nappy and clothes changes.
Toddlers have some dedicated equipment of their own; an adventure tunnel and honeycomb springer, partner swings for swinging side by side with your best friend, a toddler nest swing and a rope and log swing.
The shallow end of the splash park is closest to the toddler play equipment area. There is lots of equipment suitable for juniors with an amazing swing that has a ball joint meaning that the swing is multi directional and pivots, swings and tilts in all sorts of ways.
There are junior swing bays with a variety of swings including a bird’s nest. A zip wire, a tunnel that vanishes into a mound, a Supernova roundabout, a tepee village and a storytelling chair. For the really daring there is Witney Towers!
You are unlikely to have seen anything like this before as it is a bespoke item and the first of its kind. It’s super-high and full of challenges for all ages.
For quieter moments there is a peace garden and some edible walls and for nature lovers, a bug scope, squirrel and bird feeders and a bug hotel.
