The Wits Playspace, Witton Country Park |
Witton Country Park is a large area of open parkland, woods and farmland lying to the west of Blackburn, crossed by the Rivers Darwen and Blakewater. Witton Park is free to visit, and is popular with walkers, dog owners, cyclists, horse riders, wildlife watchers, athletes (there's an outdoor running track) and families with children.
Kids were already pretty well served for play equipment, with three separate areas by the running track. It just got better with the opening of The Wits Playspace, an all-new adventure playground with equipment suitable for children from age 3 up to early teens.
We tried it out for the first time today - here are the pictures:
Aerial walkway |
Giant slide |
Balancing beam |
Giant swing |
Wooden playframe |
Tree sculpture |
Rope swing |
Smaller slide - suitable for younger children |
Climbing dome |
Tunnel - the toddler playground has been improved too |
You can find out more about Witton Country Park, including directions and special events, here.
Glad I found your blog - we're relative newcomers to the area and want to find more places to visit, especially with the children, so I've subscribed to the feed and looking forward to seeing more! Thanks!
