Jubilee Way Playscape now open
Dozens of young people started arriving early this morning to be the first to try out the new skateboard park. They had to wait until the temporary fencing was removed and the Jubilee Way Playscape was finally opened.
But this is much, much more than a skate park, exciting as that is. The Playscape is a completely new concept in play spaces - it provides adventurous and challenging activities in a natural-looking, hilly landscape.
What is more, the designers from Groundwork worked on the design with young people from Devon Way Youth Club and Lovelace School.
It's difficult to remember that this was the site of a couple of derelict tennis courts only a few months ago.
It's also hard to believe that this is the middle of October!
If you've got children between the ages of 8 and 13 you must bring them along to try it out. The older ones will probably find it for themselves anyway.

.... thank you so much for supporting the project and posting your photos and comments .. let's hope that Jubilee Way Playscape inspires more local authorities to mail me at adam.white@groundwork.org.uk to talk about opportunities to design and create a Groundwork Playscape project in their neighbourhoods ..

It would be great if other local authorities could come along and see what you have achieved here.
