There is something for everyone. The play area is amazing & there is alot of fun to be had. Play Bradford also caters for children with disabilities and additional needs; all you have to do is ask. My son is a wheelchair user & he was able to access alot of things

If I could rate this a ten out of ten because this is what fun is all about. Normally it is just kids playing on their phones staying inside all day not getting a breath of fresh air, but the big swing is amazing. Parents are so worried if their child gets cuts and bruises here but that is what playing out is all about. Also, it is free and there is a tuck shop and the things to buy there are literary pennies Its unbelievably cheap. If you are ever bored one day you should have a day out at The Big Swing.
