Hillside play area now open
One of Swindon's largest and most up to date play facilities on
Groundwell Ridge was completed in early June.

contributions, the multi-level play area offers great excitement for
children from Abbey Meads, St Andrew's Ridge and Groundwell.

delay in completing the area due to the problems of building on a
sloping site.
