A cursed Gnome has mysteriously appeared on Milcote Road. Whatever you do, DO NOT TAKE IT HOME. The gnome's unwavering judgemental stare willl cause loss of confidence and possibly eventual madness.

In Bearwood, we believe in reintroducing danger and risk into Children's play.
That's why we've redesigned the playground in Lightwoods Park to incorporate sharp edges, an unsecured climbing frame, random holes and a dynamic 'climbing pile'.
