Lunchtime play at Brookburn Primary School, Chorlton won’t be the same again! Children now have an amazing natural playground to enjoy – there are great climbing trees, lots of natural building materials, a dry stream bed, edible hedge, willow tepees and a mud kitchen. The ‘Den’ was designed by May Molteno and built by a really hardworking team of parent volunteers who were led and trained by Andrew Sheridan. The Den is already loved by the kids and staff.

Two of our team – Steve and Becca – spent last Friday at Wicksteed Park, interviewing teachers who’d come with their students to celebrate Bastille Day.  Here are a few photos from their day…

Steve and Becca were asking teachers about how often and why they their school comes to Wicksteed Park, and what activities they might like to do in the future.  We were also keen to find out if there were any barriers to visiting.

This day was the final part of the consultation we’re doing at Wicksteed Park – back in June we went for a whole week, when we had a colourful stall.

We are currently in the process of typing up all the results from the questionnaires and analysing the data.
