SP8809 : New Children's Play area in Wendover Woods
taken 6 years ago, near to Halton Camp, Buckinghamshire, England
New Children's Play area in Wendover Woods
Taken a few days after it opened, the old area had been where the new car park is now and for most of the summer there were no swings for the children.
[This may only be a temporary area as the plans suggest the final area will be between the new cafe and Go Ape - which would be further from the road, which is behind the trees seen here.]
Note the "Countryside Award" post SP8809 : "Countryside Award 1970" plaque in Wendover Woods on the left.

The 2018 Changes at Wendover Woods
During 2018 the Forestry Commission are significantly upgrading the facilities for visitors in Wendover Woods. The existing "Cafe in the Woods" (open in 2007) is being replaced by a much larger cafe with a magnificent view over a wooded Chiltern Valley. The existing toilet block is becoming an information point. The children's play area (which tended to get rather muddy in wet weather) is being replaced by a car park for about 500 cars, and the new play area will be between the new cafe and "Go Ape." A new road is being constructed to help separate cars from pedestrians.
