A small workshop, complete with individual personalised hard hats and high-viz vests completes the area.<\/p>\n<p>The Play House has been masterfully designed to be multi-functional, ensuring that the children have a variety of imaginative play options. Whether it be a garage, a shop or a restaurant, the quaint wooden structure has been configured to encompass all three options, depending on which side is used.<\/p>\n<p>In the centre of the playground the Water Play and Hobbit Hole have been purposefully designed to encourage creative play. The water play area, built around a large grass mound with water pumps, a wooden bridge, a pebble style beach, storage area and a boat sandpit create a unique space for the children to enjoy fun and stimulating messy play. As you venture into the hobbit hole a large cave opens providing a wonderful world of adventure for the children to discover and explore. A Trike Track meanders around the Hobbit Hole, providing a fun and energetic approach to road safety with road signs and road markings.<\/p>\n                \t<a class=\"line-link\"
