Visit Nature's Playground

About the playground

This exciting new development is one of the biggest outdoor play areas in the South West, covering nearly 500m² and featuring a majestic nine-metre-tall Tree of Life tower.

The play area also includes a water course fed by recycled ground water, a china clay pit, slides, ladders, swings, and so much more.

Young explorers are invited to embark on a thrilling journey like never before, intertwining joy, imagination and exploration within nature to create unforgettable memories.

Relaxed Sessions

If your child would benefit from a playground environment with fewer people and a chance to explore at their own pace, you may wish to try our Relaxed Sessions. These slots are open to all but are designed for those with autism, sensory or communication needs in mind.

We're running Relaxed Sessions for Nature's Playground on Wednesday 12 July (11.30am – 12.30pm) and Thursday 20 July (3.30pm – 4.30pm).

We welcome around 1m visitors every year, educating people about the importance of plants and nature. Our global mission is to create a movement that builds relationships between people and the natural world.
