Other features of the park include a nature play-space for children aged to 10am featuring a bespoke designed play tower with two slides.

The tower, a vision of Wes Fleming and designed in-house by Fleming’s team of designers, architects and crafts people, and constructed by Activity Playgrounds, is a significant structure featuring internal levels, outlooks, nets and slides making it a highly function play elements that doubles as an iconic architectural element.

“ We really wanted to see some seriously fun elements in this park, and while the site is lovely and flat – we needed to add some interest and the tower was an opportunity to do this in a creative way,” said Wes.

“ The park is a showpiece of horticulture meets design, with loads of our amazing feature trees, that will grow over time to become real statements of the park.”

The park aims to offer people places to play, relax, gather, exercise and meet and park equipment are all designed to cater to children of all ages with climbing elements such as a tractor ripe for the imagination.  Plants feature en-masse, the park surrounds, avenues and play park itself are forested by advanced trees and present the promise of a mature landscape sooner than later and large natural boulders double as features and climbing objects.
