Ockwells Play Area Refurbishment
In November 2020 the play area at Ockwells was refurbished with new play equipment. The aim was to provide a variety of play options for a wider age range of children. While the smaller equipment was added in the turfed area near the new picnic benches, the bigger composite play kit called ‘The Lycee’ replaced the old climbing frame in the mulched area.
The Lycee combination is fully certified to the latest European EN 1176 safety standard and has been inspected and passed post installation.
UniPlay combination is to provide a range of challenges to different ability of users. The lower section providing some ‘easier’ activities, while the tall section with the long tube slide provides the highest challenge. The intension of the climbing blocks type access is to provide a ‘challenging’ interface between the two parts. It is also important that less able users cannot ‘easily’ reach the high tube slide sections, where they would be much more difficult to supervise adequately. This play equipment has being designed for an age range of 5-12yrs olds in mind to improve their sensory , motor and decision making skills. It allows the child to remain interested in the kit for longer period of time allowing access to different levels on the kit as their abilities increase.
Information
History
Some of the park was once part of the Ockwells Manor Estate. You can see the Manor to the west of the park. The original Manor House was built in the 15th century with wood from oak trees grown in Windsor Forest, which at the time stretched as far as this park.
Ockwells Park was opened to the public in the 1980s and now includes a large play area and sports pitches for softball and baseball.
