Lockleaze Adventure Playground

I was looking for a park to film a short documentary in a few months back, but it needed to have a basketball ring and not be too busy on a Saturday morning. I can’t remember who found this one, but I wasn’t disappointed.
I’m too old to appreciate swings and slides in the same way a child can but when I walked into this park I couldn’t quite believe what I was seeing. I remember parks when I was a kid and either I’m remembering them incorrectly or this park in Lockleaze is simply a cut above the rest. It has everything you’d expect from a decent park, but simply a million times better.
There’s a giant wooden tower with labyrinthine gangways and walkways leading in several direction. There’s a giant round about type contraption set about 4 feet off the ground. At least I think it’s a roundabout, but it’s unlike anything I’d seen before. There’s also (and this was the best thing) a death slide that is attached to the wooden tower. I was taken aback at how extreme this death slide was. It is quite literally a vertical drop down a five foot wide sheet of polished metal with a gentle curve at the last minute to save you from falling to your death. I was with 6 or 7 kids on the day and none of them had the guts to go on it.
