  • A Ferraphone to introduce music and sound
  • A Cradle Nest Swing that can accommodate more than one child
  • Conference Stations to enable children to communicate across the play site

The Pit Yard Play Area is accessible by a wheelchair and pushchair friendly accessible path, with a small slide linking the path with the lower level site. 

Seating is also available to allow parents and guardians to relax while being close by.
