Children’s play area
Service update – Friday 3 July 2026
We’re pleased to confirm that both play areas at Lydiard Park are now open following major maintenance and repairs to the equipment.
The pod swing remains out of action while we await the delivery of parts. We will provide further updates as soon as possible and thank you for your continued patience and understanding.
Children’s can climb, swing and slide at one of Swindon’s favourite family destinations!
The playground at Lydiard Park offers colourful, state-of-the-art play and climbing equipment suitable for children of all ages.
Explore the Triaction Special – a huge climbing frame with masses of slides and poles to go down –and climb the Giant Octonet, with its intricate maze of rope ladders.
Sensory panels add a different experience for all children using the play area. These include a woodland finger maze, ladder rattle and rain wheel.
There is a dedicated play area for toddlers, with special equipment to enjoy early adventures in swinging, climbing and sliding.
Near to both play areas you’ll find the Forest Cafe and toilets.
The aerial adventure play area next door is managed by Jungle Parc.
