The Benefits of Play: New Adventure Playground at Andrewshayes Holiday Park
A Natural Wonderland for Young Explorers
We’re absolutely thrilled to announce the arrival of a beautiful new play park at Andrewshayes Holiday Park!
Set within our lovely Devon countryside setting in the shade of our veteran oak tree, our delightful new woodland-inspired playground creates the perfect space for children to laugh, explore and make wonderful holiday memories.
Time and again, our guests tell us how their children’s holiday happiness blossoms when they make new friends at the play park. Those shy smiles on day one quickly transform into confident laughter by day two as newfound playground pals share adventures on the climbing frames.
Parents often remark on the positive change they see — children who return to their accommodation full of stories about their new friends, and sleeping soundly after a day of wholesome play.
Happy Children, Happy Holidays
We’ve all experienced that wonderful holiday moment — sitting back with a refreshing drink while watching your children having the time of their lives, their laughter carrying across the park. These precious moments often become the highlights of family holidays, captured in photographs and treasured for years to come.
Naturally Inspired Design
Our beautiful new play equipment harmonises perfectly with our tranquil Devon setting. Crafted primarily from sustainably sourced timber, the structures blend seamlessly into the natural environment while providing endless opportunities for adventure.
At the heart of our play park stands an impressive Woodland Eco Tower complete with an exhilarating slide that promises squeals of delight with every descent. Little climbers can test their skills on the challenging rope climbing section, while the swinging bars offer the perfect opportunity for youngsters to build upper body strength through play.
Meanwhile, more confident explorers can challenge each other on the rope climbing section, cheering each other on with every successful climb.
The magnificent large bucket swing has quickly become a firm favourite — accommodating up to three children at once, it’s the perfect spot for making new friends and creating those special holiday moments of shared joy, it’s already become our most sociable play feature!
We’ve carefully considered our youngest visitors too with the toddler swings and the varied climbing challenges cater to different ages and abilities, ensuring that each child finds their own level of adventure.
Our new play park creates the perfect setting for these memory-making moments. The friendly layout encourages children of all ages to interact naturally.
Thoughtfully positioned adjacent to our Ploughman’s Bar and Restaurant, the playground allows parents to enjoy a well-earned refreshment or delicious meal while keeping a watchful eye on their little adventurers. It’s that perfect balance of relaxation for you and excitement for them!
Why Play Matters at Andrewshayes
At Andrewshayes, we firmly believe that play isn’t simply a luxury for children — it’s an absolute necessity. Our new adventure play park represents our commitment to nurturing happy, confident youngsters during their precious family holiday time.
Learning through adventure
As children navigate our Woodland Eco Tower, tackle the rope climbing section, or master the swinging bars, they’re actually developing crucial motor skills and spatial awareness without even realising it!
Building social connections
Our thoughtfully designed play spaces encourage children to interact and take turns. The three-person bucket swing has quickly become our friendliest spot, where even the shyest children soon find themselves giggling alongside new holiday friends.
Embracing the great outdoors
There’s something wonderful about play that happens in natural surroundings, with the dappled sunlight filtering through our magnificent trees and the gentle countryside backdrop.
Developing emotional resilience
Through play, children learn to manage emotions, overcome challenges and celebrate their achievements — whether it’s reaching the top of the climbing ropes or mastering the swinging bars for the first time.
Beyond the Play Park
Your Devon adventure doesn’t end at the play park! After an exciting play session, families can cool off in our inviting heated covered swimming pool, explore our woodland walk, or enjoy a delicious family meal at our Ploughman’s Bar and Restaurant.
When the day’s adventures are done, our comfortable accommodation provides the perfect place to rest before tomorrow’s explorations begin.
