The architects behind the spot, Kompan, said: "A mix of equipment has been installed for children of all ages to enjoy. "The customer wanted to provide an exciting, inclusive play area that would inspire imaginative and adventure play while encouraging movement and social play." The highlight for visitors is the well-equipped play area, with wooden structures that fit naturally into the coastal surroundings – and it's open all year round. It's a peaceful and spacious spot with enough features to keep children active and entertained before the school year begins. One of the standout features is the playground's main slide, which allows children to glide down the area while enjoying the fresh sea breeze. There are also climbing walls, rope bridges, monkey bars, roundabouts and swings that encourage kids to explore, climb and play at their own pace. The layout is designed to suit a range of age groups, with accessible features that cater to both younger children and older ones.

And with Termonfeckin Beach only inches away, families can easily combine a visit to the play area with a walk or paddle by the sea. The beach features wide stretches of sand, gentle waves and scenic views across the Irish coast.

There's a new pirate ship playground at Canalfront Park in Lewes
The pirate-ship playground at Canalfront Park in Lewes has been upgraded. The old playground structures, built in 2009, have been replaced by new Kompan equipment, including a pirate ship, a carousel, a "Little Hen's House," mini picnic tables and mini hammocks. There's also new rubber flooring. The project cost around $400,000, partially paid for through grants from the state. "This state-of-the-art facility features a variety of interactive play structures, including slides, climbing walls, and in keeping with the maritime setting, a ship," Lewes Assistant City Manager Janet Reeves said. "We've also ensured that the playground is accessible for children with different abilities, providing inclusive play opportunities for everyone." The playground is located next to the Lewes Little Fields and the Lightship Overfalls. In addition to the playground, Canalfront Park features docks on the Lewes-Rehoboth Canal, open grassy space and restrooms.
