Families in Stratford-on-Avon District can enjoy a brand-new soft play area.

Stratford Leisure Centre, run by award-winning operator Everyone Active in partnership with Stratford-on-Avon District Council, has revealed its vibrant play-based environment for children aged up to eight years to stay active.

The exciting addition has transformed part of the leisure centre's existing facilities into a safe, fun and engaging space to help support learning and development.

Featuring colourful slides, building blocks, spinning panels and sensory features, the soft play area for early years encourages children to build motor skills and development through balancing, sliding and rolling throughout the secure two-tier structure.

Richard Bell, contract manager at Everyone Active, said: "We're thrilled to unveil our brand-new soft play facility which we hope will become a much-loved feature of Stratford Leisure Centre and is now open for families to enjoy.

"We're thoroughly looking forward to welcoming new and existing members to our brand-new dedicated play facilities in time for Spring and of course the summer holidays following this fantastic investment."

Julie Lewis, Head of Environmental and Neighbourhood Services, said: "We are delighted to see this exciting new soft play area open at Stratford Leisure Centre. It provides a safe, engaging space where young children can be active, develop key skills and have fun.

"Working in partnership with Everyone Active, we are committed to offering high-quality leisure opportunities that support the health and wellbeing of our communities, and we look forward to seeing families enjoy this vibrant new addition."

The soft play area has replaced the clip 'n climb facility and entry is available to both members and non-members with affordable pricing.

The development forms part of Stratford-on-Avon District Council and Everyone Active's wider commitment to family-friendly leisure services in the area, providing innovative ways to help keep the community active.
