Hackham Sports Ground

Man, does this compact playground pack a punch! For it’s actual size, it has an awful lot of fun all over it. This playground is actually right in front of the main building of the Hackham Community Sports and Social Club. It’s very close to the car park so it is fenced and suitable for a variety of age groups. Whoever came up with the design for all the equipment should get a gold star themselves… I haven’t seen such a small, compact area provide so many engaging activities for children before.
Being so close to the Sports Club, there would be access to drinks and the like during their opening hours. I believe (although I forgot to check) that there are public toilets a little walk from the playground. There isn’t any shade and usually you wouldn’t see me rating a playground four stars unless there were all the ‘added extras’ (drinking fountain, toilets, BBQ, shade etc) but that’s just how fantastic I think this playground is.
How wonderful it would be if the City Council could install something like this in all those places I’ve rated two or even three stars. Could you imagine how many children would be outside playing, meeting other children, being physical rather than watching TV? Can you also imagine the ownership the children would take of the playground? How great that would be!
