The Skegness Sunshine Kiddies Play area can be found to the side of the Pier Field on the Skegness waterway
The Sunshine play area is a new play ground for kids aged 3-14 years old, it’s bright colourful and a lovely modern park for the kids to let off some steam, it is the best free play ground in Skegness :-)
The Sunshine play area has a range of play equipment for the little ones there’s: Animal Rockers, Climbing Box and little Slide, games and the Cargo Net Swing.
For older kids there is: Bungee Swing, Climbing Tower and Slide, Zip Line and a Cargo Net Swing.
There has been some vandalism on the park with broken glass and the play equipment being damaged. The glass is cleared up quiet quickly by the Skegness Town Council each morning, but there has been complaints by holiday makers about teenagers using the park irresponsibly and making them feel intimidated by their presence.
The best time to use the Sunshine play area is during school hours as like any park in the UK teenagers dominate the park in the evenings, so the best time to avoid teens is in the day.
The Skegness Sunshine Play park is a lovely park for kids to play there’s plenty of seats for parents or a little play on the equipment with the kids :-) the floor has soft safety matting and is brightly coloured, definitely a must visit when in Skegness with the kids.
Skegness Attractions Star Rating for Sunshine Play Area 8/10
I am writing to inform you of a nasty accident caused to a 5year old girl in my charge by a gate to the Sunshine Park. She had opened the gate a little, turned to call to me and her sister and then came running across screaming with blood dripping through her glove. Having looked at the injury I took her immediately to A&E at Skegness hospital, where her finger was x-rayed and the bone found to be chipped. Her finger had burst open through the force of the gate closing and had a temporary dressing and sling applied. She then had to attend the fracture clinic at Boston hospital. The wound has been dressed and steri-strips applied. She has to attend Boston each week to have the dressing changed. The accident occurred on Wednesday 17 February at about 11.50am
I would be interested to have a copy of your Health and Safety policy, including the date of the last safety check on the park. Obviously, the gate snapped shut with too much force. I fear for other children using the park…a smaller child would have lost the finger or could have suffered a severe head injury.
Please let me know that the gate will be checked as soon as possible.
