A new inclusive play area has officially opened at Bourdillon Field in Goring-on-Thames, offering a vibrant and accessible space for children of all abilities to play, learn, and grow together.
The project was led and developed by specialist play designers and installers, Proludic, in collaboration with Goring-on-Thames Parish Council. The play design and equipment meet the needs of children aged two to twelve. It followed a 2019 review of Goring’s green spaces, which identified the need for improved play facilities, particularly accessible spaces for children with disabilities and special needs.
“We’re thrilled to have partnered on the creation of a brand-new inclusive play area at Bourdillon Field Play Area, Goring-on-Thames – bringing fun, freedom and accessibility to children of all abilities,” said the client project team.
The inclusive play area features a bespoke boat-themed play unit called the Bourdillon Belle. This unique play unit includes a triple slide and an inclusive dual slide designed to ignite children’s imaginations. A custom multiplay structure includes a special panel designed by children from the village. The whole space is truly brought to life using Proludic’s unique Grafic Games technique.
The playground also features accessible swings, seesaws, wheelchair accessible roundabouts, sensory zones, colourful surfacing, and communication boards for non-verbal users. A magical resin-bound sensory trail weaves through the space, complete with animal geocaches and playful archways.
The project stands as a proud example of a joyful, community-led initiative.
The inclusive space was developed through close collaboration between the local community and Proludic. The park, therefore creates a bespoke space to bring local children together in an imaginative, accessible space for meaningful play.
The new playground offers over 220 play values and has a capacity for 170 users. District councillor Maggie Filipova-Rivers, who officially opened the site, said “Seeing so many excited children queuing to enter, with smiling parents and grandparents looking on, was truly one of the most joyous occasions I have had the pleasure of attending in my capacity of Goring’s district and county councillor.”
