Old MacDonald has
thrown open a rather unusual part of his farm for the enjoyment of
park guests. ‘There’s something in the Dung Heap’ is a playground
which features everything you’d expect from a ‘dung’ experience and
more, with attractions aimed at all member of the family. The play
area is largely split into four different areas aimed at different
heights and age groups, connected by a central plaza in which parents
can relax and take the weight off while their youngsters enjoy
themselves. The four interactive play areas include:-
The Soil Albug Hall
has flies buzzing around this palace of poop which forms the entrance
to the Dung Heap. The only undercover part of the playground, the hall
features a Creepy Crawly Basharound, an interactive bug floor where
kids (young or old) can chase a multitude of bugs, which react to your
every movement.
Mr Mushroom's Magic
Maze sits just outside the Soil Albug Hall. Mr Mushroom has hidden
himself at the heart of this labyrinth of fences. Dare you venture in
and see if you can find this jolly character? If you do find him try
pressing his buttons to see what jewels of wisdom he might dispense.
All are welcome to have a go at the maze, though taller guests might
find they have a slight advantage.
The Toxic Bog is
the area aimed at younger guests, with a height restriction of
0.9m-1.4m. The area is perfect for those that love to slip and slide
or bounce and balance featuring a bunch of Teetering Toadstool Boingupons,
as well as Jumping Gerberas and a slide into the bog itself. It is
also home to the Wobbly Walk, a rotating beam with height restriction
of 1.1m-1.4m.
Cobweb Capers is
the final area of the Dung Heap and is aimed at slightly older
children, with a height restriction of 1.1m-1.4m. A spider's Springy
Cobweb Climbing zone can be found at the heart of this area,
alternatively kids can test their airborne agility with a zip along a
silken zip wire.
