Diana, Princess of Wales Memorial Play Ground

Take your little landlubbers to a day of sailing on Captain Hook’s wooden pirate ship! This play ground was designed to be inspiring and accessible and allows the children to play on the ship, sand, tepees and running between all the sculptures. It was inspired by the Peter Pan movies and allows children to follow their imaginations whilst learning as they play. The park also offers other fun activities such as a sensory trail.
