Little Oaks play area
Our new natural and sustainable play area has been created using storm-felled trees from the Drum woodland and wider estate.
Free for everyone to access, Little Oaks encourages children and families to explore and re-imagine ‘traditional’ play. The 1-acre play area swaps traditional play park equipment for a more natural approach, with swings, slides and rubber matting replaced by an array of giant tree structures and carved oak sculptures to provide kids of all ages with an exciting new way to play.
Little Oaks is an exciting adventure for children of all ages. But some children are more adventurous than others. Only you know the ability of your own children and those in your care. This space is unsupervised so please keep an eye on them!
We want your children’s adventure to be safe. Keep them in sight and be aware that there are areas where they may fall or trip. The ground is uneven in places and there may be exposed tree roots, rocks and stones.
To report any damage please email drum@nts.org.uk or speak to a member of the team. Our approach to natural play is aligned with ISO 4980:2023 and the Visitor Safety Group principle of ‘no nasty surprises’.
