Erected in 2000 to commemorate the life of Diana, Princess of Wales, the Diana Memorial Playground ia a free space for children to play and features a huge wooden pirate ship as its centrepiece.

Diana was killed in a car crash in Paris in 1997 and a memorial committee thought it a fitting legacy to fund the £1.7 million renovation of an existing playground as a tribute to Diana's love of children.

The pirate ship incorporates a climbing frame and is surrounded by sand. There is a teepee area, swings, slides and an area designed for those with disabilities, including fragrant plants and sound features for children with visual problems.

Over 750,000 children enjoy the playground each year.
