Upchurch Parish Council has installed new wooden trim trail balance equipment in The Paddock funded by a collective grant from Queenborough Fishery Trust and Swale Borough Council.
Cllr Pam Denny hopes to eventually create a woodland trail in the wooded area of The Paddock. Pam met with children from Holywell School earlier this year. They gave her lots of good ideas, which included adding bug hotels, bird boxes, bat boxes and the new trim trail.
If anyone has some of these items they can donate, they will be very gratefully received - thank you.
A trim trail is balance equipment of varying forms. In The Paddock, there are now balance beams, a wobble beam and a wobble bridge leading to the wooded area, which will hopefully encourage children to use this area more to play and explore, which could be educational.
The latest equipment in The Paddock is in addition to the swings, rocker, space saucer and new benches, which the Parish Council installed along with the adult exercise equipment on the Recreation Ground, also funded by grants.
