New activity trail at Lodge Hill
This follows hard on the heels of the October 2013 purchase of 3 all-terrain mobility vehicles and the rebuild of the all-weather kart track.
The 1 km trail, which circumnavigates the 32 acre Lodge Hill site, will primarily be an Adventure trail open for Groups visiting and staying at the Centre. Situated along the trail will be numerous different activity structures offering different fitness, sensory and educational elements. These will include a tunnel crawl, monkey bars, log stack, xylophone, tyre hopscotch, balance beams, swinging steps, and an OXO panel.
