OUTDOOR PLAY AT WOLDIES
our PLAY AREAS connect children with the natural world
At Woldies, we believe in the power of nature to inspire creativity and play. Woldies Wild Play is designed to spark curiosity, encourage exploration, and provide endless opportunities for imaginations to run wild.
Plenty of picnic benches set in trees and wildflowers make this a natural and relaxing space for kids and adults. With sightlines across the Timber Trail and Wild Play areas kids of different ages and interests can play happily while you keep an eye on them.
