Princess Diana Park in Banbury has been given a £150,000 makeover by Playdale Playgrounds. The brand new play area has been developed as part of Oxfordshire’s Playbuilder Scheme and was officially opened by the town mayor. Ann Sewell, events and projects officer at Banbury Town Council, said: "These amenities have been a long time coming and everyone is delighted this popular park now has first class play facilities. We hope the children and youths benefit and learn through play for years to come."


The new playground offers impressive landscaping and natural play elements; comprising logs, boulders and mounds, alongside traditional play equipment including a jukebox climbing unit, an adventure trail, a team swing and a large freeform climbing structure from Playdale’s Jungle Climber range.

Princess Diana Park marks the latest in Playdale’s completed Playbuilder sites. Since the launch of the scheme in 2009, Playdale have been involved with almost 400 new and refurbished play areas as part of the governmentfunded initiative.
