    This is the best playground in the area. My kids (5 and 2) love it. Please don’t change it too much. Many playgrounds are just carbon copies of each other and the Millbrook one is unique. The big climbing area and slide in the middle is great.

    As mentioned above a music wall would be amazing, also maybe some literacy around the fences, such as poems or quotes from stories.
    It would be good to have some equipment in there that’s more suitable for toddlers too, when you go in with a range of ages there’s lots for school age up to do but not much for toddlers and babies.

    Hi there, I love the idea of the musical adventure in the picture idea. Definitely more interactive thins round benefit the play patk. Also a ground level built in trampoline would be nice. It’s been known as a tractor park for years so I do think it’s important to still have a tractor in the park, but a more weather with standing one. The current one isn’t holding up!
    I do feel the climbing frame leading up towards the slide needs to be safer on the walking beam area. So many children have slipped and fallen down through.

    The children are back at school soon, why not ask them or their teachers, what they want in the park ? After all they`re the ones who`ll be playing there !
