Two much-loved playgrounds have been 'brought back to life' in Guildford. Kings College Playground (GU2 8DU) and Woodside Playground (GU2 8HW) have both been given special

treatment by Guildford Borough Council ahead of the summer holidays.

The sites have been upgraded after old and worn out equipment meant families were going elsewhere and they are now "better than ever", the council said. Both of the Park Barn sites have been

reimagined, taking in feedback from members of the public.

The plan for the sites was to put in modern play equipment that could be used by children of all ages and abilities. As well as exciting new equipment the spaces have also been landscaped in

order to make them more appealing to kids and adults alike. Take a look below to see what’s new at each playground:

Kings College playground:

New, comfy seating to sit and relax while watching children play

New trees and shrubs to attract more wildlife and reduce the negative impact of road noise.

Woodside playground:

New play features for all ages and abilities, like the popular cradle seat swing

New spot with a goal for football

New plants and six trees to make the playground more inviting and pretty.

Lead Councillor for Climate Change and Environment, Cllr George Potter thanked our residents for their feedback. They said: "These local playgrounds are full of ideas suggested by residents.

Thanks to everyone who gave their feedback, they are now better than ever! With the school holidays approaching, children can look forward to trying out the new playground equipment.

Whether picnicking, playing, or soaking up the sun, Kings College and Woodside playgrounds are ready for everyone.”
