Deddington centre opens new ‘Pocket Park’
The new play area has been funded primarily by the government’s Pocket Park Plus scheme which gifted £25,000, topped up by Deddington Parish Council. A small grant was also made from TOE (Trust for Oxfordshire Environment).
This enabled the old faded plastic play equipment to be replaced by a timber multi-activity structure with its own Windmill house. The natural theme is continued through a willow tunnel, MagPosts, animal shaped springers, and play panels.
A native hedge and fragrant shrubs complete the upgrade. The Pocket Park sits alongside the Parish Council’s Adventure Playground and Woodland Trail for older children which were opened last year.
