Hengrove Play Park is built on the end of the old Whitchurch Airport site, featuring everything from sandpits to this large 11m dome structure. In it there are a number of suspended walkways, just the thing to challenge young minds. Unfortunately the £11m frame was shut a year after opening to make running repairs and improvements. However, it is now a popular attraction for the local teens.
