Milton Keynes City Council has upgraded its play park in Coffee Hall, creating a fresh and inclusive space for children and families to enjoy.
In partnership with Woughton Community Council, Milton Keynes City Council has installed an accessible roundabout, trampoline, see-saw, sensory huts, wide slides and sculptures all designed to be fully accessible.
The park officially opened on 1 November and is fully fenced making it a safe space for children with extra needs to explore safety.
It’s one of many improvements the City Council is making to selected play areas. Last year, it set aside £250,000 to upgrade play parks that need extra attention, upgrading facilities to keep them safe and exciting spaces for children to enjoy. Over the past year, the City Council has opened and refreshed several play areas, including the Whirly Pits in Olney and a King’s Coronation themed park in Crownhill.
With 466 play areas across the city—equating to one for every 255 children—Milton Keynes has one of the highest levels of play provision in the country.
Play parks are more than just places to have fun, they are where kids make friends, stay active, and enjoy the outdoors. That’s why we are putting extra funding into parks that need a bit of TLC, and building new ones as our city grows.”
To make it easier for families to discover local parks, the City Council has added play areas to the My Milton Keynes interactive map on its website.
