A new £2.5 million playground all about “colour, light, interactivity and inclusivity” with “thrills and surprises at every turn” will open at Butlin’s in Skegness next Easter.
There will be six different zones to explore at SKYPARK, celebrating positive play emotions with a range of exciting equipment, including climbing towers, tube slides, and the ‘UK’s longest interactive seesaw’.
Sensory elements and wheelchair-accessible features will allow children of all ages and abilities to play together. Children can also have after-dark adventures on the light-up towers and slides, and it is all included in the price of a Butlin’s holiday break.
Accessed via a ramp, a one-metre mound at the base of the Tower of Excitement places disabled children in the heart of the action.
A first-floor platform in the Tower of Surprise gives wheelchair users the chance to experience height and be shoulder-to-shoulder with other kids.

There’s also a wheelchair-accessible trampoline and roundabout, sit-up swings for support and sociability, and wheelchair-friendly walkways and ramps.
Alongside, SKYPARK will be a new cafe and outdoor terrace, serving drinks and light snacks.
