Playground 8 - Saumarez Park Guernsey

Our final playground of this playground quest, to visit at least 7 new playgrounds in 10 days, was at Saumarez Park in Guernsey, on Sunday 26 August. This playground was recommended to us as one of the best on the Island. It was a good playground with a zip wire, climing frame and firemans pole, one of the big climbing rope pyramid things like those on the mainland and more. The Park itself looked lovely too.

The Best Zip wire Thomas has ever been on. Really high!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

An interesting swing thing.

Playground 7 - Lockleaze Adventure Playground

Thomas and Anna give this playground 9.5 out of 10. Simon took them today so I haven't seen it. According to the kids there were lots of nets/hammocks (typical for Bristol Adventure Playgrounds) but also a fantastic zipwire (the best Thomas has ever been on) and an outdoor drop slide, that is open at set times. Plus some other interesting play equipment. I think this is one we will be returning to.

Playground 6 Gainsborough Square

Gainsborough square playground had a swinging seat, a large climbing frame and a basket swing. I made an obstacle course. This is the plaground that mum saw from a hot air balloon recently.

Playground 5 - Southmead Adventure Playground 

 



At the sand and water area it is quite suitable for children 1 to 8 I think.

In the fort in lots of parts there is loads of firemans poles. By Anna (6)

 

Southmead Adventure Playground was quite different to other Adventure Playgrounds. There are 2 main areas, the sand and water area (very good) and the fort - 3 levels of stairs and poles, good for hide-and-seek etc. There is also a room with table tennis, pool and TVs/consoles. There are craft activities at certain times. The tuck shop is good value and there is also a football area. Thomas and Anna gave this playground 7 out of 10. Thank you to our friends Diane, Alex and Emily for joining us at this playground!

 

More Playground 4 - By Thomas

St Pauls adventure playground had lots of climbing nets and ropes. There is also a tree house and a secret den with a swinging bench and hidden ladders. It has a water area and another small playground with a turntable and a horizontal rope which you can swing on.

I give this playground 10 out of 10 because all of the play equipment was really good plus the den and the treehouse was a bit of an extra.
