Upper Heyford Playground

Upper Heyford Playground

Date of Adventure: 2 Mar, 2024

This park has one heck of a climbing frame! We call it the adventure playground park – it has those kinda vibes.

The huge climbing frame is one of those that has bridges, climbing walls, tunnels, slides, fireman’s poles, a mini obstacle course, tyres, rope climbs – the whole shebang! There’s also a few tree houses at the park, swings, zip wire, bucket swings and stand up spinny things. Beware of this spinny thing – my children invited me on then proceeded to spin a billion miles and hour whist gravity tried to rip my eyeballs out. I thought I was going to vomit. This isn’t my first rodeo so I have no idea why I fell for this but I’m pre-warning you so you don’t!

Older children will appreciate the small basketball/ football area or they can break out into the huge green that the park is situated on. Good news for parents of runners too – this park is fenced and gated! Not saying that our little Houdini’s won’t outsmart the restrictions but it gives us a bit of time to get there at least.

I’ve been to this park about 5 times and only ever seen people there once – let’s give it the love it deserves!

Know?

Tracey Emin’s first British exhibition since 1997 was at Modern Art Oxford in 2002 and drew together the artist's now iconic neon wall hangings, drawings, etchings, film works, and a large scale sculpture installation of a pier and shack made from reclaimed timber.

Fancy buying me a ko-fi?

Want to support my work?

Feel free to buy me a (strong!) coffee, it will help fuel my adventures near and far. Support can come in many form though: sharing my website in your school WhatsApp group or liking a Facebook post is equally appreciated.
