Through our adventure playgrounds we give children the chance to have the freedom to do what they want to do and be seen as a valuable member of the community.
What is your favourite childhood play memory?
"Sitting on the kerb outside my house, scraping the cement off the bricks in the wall to remove one. And then scraping the brick on the floor to make dust which mixed with my spit to make paint."
