Percy’s new Playhouse

Youngsters visiting Paultons Park over the summer holidays are in for an additional treat with the opening of Percy’s Playhouse. Located in ‘Kids Kingdom’, Percy’s Playhouse stands an impressive 10 metres high and has two giant tube slides that twist and snake their way to the ground. Remarkably, the entire project has been completed in just four weeks at a cost of £55,000.

Percy’s Playhouse joins the Jumping Bean, Jumping Jack and the Penguin Pool as the fourth new attraction to open at the Park this year and is sure to be a big hit with younger visitors. “Although everyone enjoys the fantastic rides and attractions at the Park the play areas are always very popular giving excited youngsters a great opportunity to let of steam and parents a welcome rest!” said Steve Lorton, Commercial Director. “Kids Kingdom is one of three purpose-built play areas at Paultons each designed for a specific age group ”.

As always safety is the number one priority and Percy’s Playhouse has been surrounded by a rubber safety floor surface that is specially designed to cushion a fall.

Kids Kingdom is one of 50 attractions at the Park included in the admission price. Paultons Park is open daily from 10am and is located within the New Forest National Park, just off Junction 2 of the M27.
