I have been keen to visit the play park at Lochore Meadows Country park since it opened in March this year and it did not disappoint! It had so much more than the usual basket swing and accessible roundabout. There was something for Quinns to explore in all parts of the park which meant he was able to keep up with his friends and play both with and alongside them.

After exploring the fully enclosed park which included going up and down the ramps of the two main pieces of climbing equipment he then went across the suspension bridge multiple times as his friends bounced along with him.

Rather than go for his usual high-backed swing (we weren’t sure the style of swing would work for him) we instead waited for our moment and took over the piece of equipment all the kids wanted to go on, the one with the biggest thrill. I’m not sure of the name of it, but it could be a flying chair swing or a carousel sky swing!

Five of them could sit on the individual seats and it spun them around and outwards. It’s the first time I’ve seen one with a high back seat. So with the help of the trusty Go-To seat Quinns got to experience a new sensation and be as adventurous as everyone else.

Of course, he tried out the wheelchair swing and the accessible roundabout. Apart from all that there was also at least one accessible trampoline, a rainbow tunnel, a double slide and multiple sensory boards plus things I may not have spotted in the busy-ness of the park.

It is the first time I’ve felt disappointed to leave a park with Quinns as I didn’t feel like we had explored everything it had to offer. With a café right next to the play park and a Changing Places toilet in the nearby education centre though I have no doubt we’ll be back at some point to play some more!
