Sky’s the limit for Butlin’s play park
FREE ADVENTURE RESORT SET TO LAUNCH IN 2023
BUTLIN’S has revealed plans for a new adventure playground to open at the Skegness resort in time for the Easter 2023 school holidays.
Described as “the most exciting playground in the UK where everyone can play in the sky, day and night,” SKYPARK will be free to access and included in all holiday breaks. The park will offer children of all ages and abilities the chance to play together.
A video released by Butlin’s shows what the park is set to look like and offers fans of the resort a chance to see more of what they can expect from the major new investment.
The park will feature a light-up slide, climbing challenges and interactive play, while also having accessible components. It will contain a wheelchair-accessible trampoline and roundabout; basket and sit-up swings for support and sociability; sensory surprises through light, sound and colour; and wide, wheelchair-friendly walkways and ramps.
SKYPARK will feature seven different zones, graded for various ages, and will be open into the night, as shown in the video.
At the heart of the playground is the Tower of Excitement, standing 14 metres tall, providing a panoramic sea view and an illuminated 10-metre slide.
Simon Cope, commercial and marketing director at Butlin’s, said: “Our new SKYPARK is going to be incredible/ It’s a fantastic addition to our Skegness resort and has been purpose-built with inclusion in mind. As the home of entertainment, we offer fun for the whole family, with so much included in the price.
“SKYPARK will be free to access along with all our amazing live shows, free flow entry to our Splash Waterworld pool and unlimited fairground rides. We’re counting down the days and can’t wait for families to enjoy the best playground in the UK - day and night.”
Children will enter the playground through The Heart Line – a playful pathway that pulses with light – and discover six zones that celebrate positive play emotions: Joy, Calm, Excitement, Happiness, Surprise, Curiosity. In the various discovery zones, every child can experience height and children of all abilities
will be able to play together.
Epic climbing towers, thrilling tunnel slides and interactive play fill SKYPARK’S zones. SKYPARK will also be home to the UK’S longest seesaw at 24-metres long, which lights up the more you play as a team.
With sensory surprises, interactive games and wheelchair-friendly
equipment, everyone can be shoulder to shoulder in the heart of the action. SKYPARK will feature a wheelchair-accessible trampoline and roundabout; basket and sit-up swings for support and sociability; sensory surprises through light, sound and colour; and wide, wheelchair-friendly walkways and ramps.
