Horsforth Hall Park play area has been awarded a generous donation to create the UK’s first Maths themed playground.

We’re proposing an exciting new playground that offers something for all ages, combining active play, creativity, and learning in a welcoming space.

Consultation with schools, young people and local groups has helped shape the design to date.

We are now asking for feedback from the wider community for your thoughts on the latest design.

What's proposed?

Multi-play tower with climbing features and slides
Swings for all ages, including toddler, junior, and basket swing options
Climbing and balancing challenges such as rope structures, play mounds, stepping features and climbing geometric blocks
Inclusive elements, including ramped access and a variety of play experiences for different abilities
Toddler area with a smaller play unit, slide and sensory play features

Learning through play

A unique theme of maths and geometry runs through the design, with colourful shapes, patterns and interactive features built into the surfacing and equipment.

Natural and creative play

Sand play area with pulley system
Utilisation of the landscape and planting to create a greener setting
Open space for imaginative and social play

Access

Improved paths and entrances
New seating and picnic areas
