Butlin’s opens £2.5m illuminated Skypark designed so kids of all abilities can play together

Butlin’s has opened a new inclusive £2.5 illuminated Skypark with the longest energy generating seesaw in the UK.

The Skegness holiday and leisure site has now opened the hugely anticipated state-of-the-art adventure playground which has been designed specifically so that children of all abilities can play together.

It is equipped with a wheelchair accessible trampoline and roundabout, sit-up swings for sociability and wheelchair friendly walkways and ramps to ensure no child is left out.

The park features four epic climbing towers with the tallest standing at 14 metres high, offering incredible panoramic sea views.

It is also home to the UK’s longest interactive seesaw at an impressive 24 metres long — which can be used to generate energy to light up the area.

It also features the Butlin’s Skypark Cafe — the perfect place for adults to relax while they keep an eye on the children.

Featuring an array of indoor and outdoor seating, with a selection of hot and cold drinks and snacks, the café also has a specially curated music playlist.

The music is set at an appropriate volume to a calming low beat — with inclusivity in mind.

Jon Hendry-Pickup, CEO at Butlin’s, said: “As the home of entertainment, we’re really proud to be able to offer a playground that’s designed to be truly inclusive for all families — with Butlin’s Skypark included in the price of a break.

“Launching Butlin’s Skypark is an incredibly proud moment for us as a business and it is the first of many exciting investments we’re making across our three resorts in the next few years.

“Our new playground provides a safe, stimulating place for children of all abilities to play together. We can’t wait to see families enjoying our incredible new playground this Easter and beyond.”
