First look at Butlin's new £2.5m playground with themed zones and UK's longest seesaw

A huge new £2.5million playground is due to open at Butlin's.

SKYPARK will open next summer at the iconic British holiday camp and will have six different zones, each with slides, climbing towers and even the longest seesaw in the UK.

The epic new attraction will be open at its Skegness resort from Easter 2023, and will be open and free for families to use.

In the middle will be the 45ft Tower of Excitement which has panoramic sea views and an illuminated 32ft slide.

The playground is divided into zones based on "positive play emotions" called Joy, Calm, Excitement, Happiness, Surprise, and Curiosity.

The Joy section will be for under 5s, while Excitement, Happiness and Surprise is catered for 6-12-year-olds.

Calm and Curious is designed for all ages, as will the Heart Line, which is a playground for kids to enter the park through.

Another big feature of the park will be the UK's longest seesaw, which comes in at an impressive 78ft.

The more people use it, the more a series of lights will illuminate the attraction.

Other experiences include sensory games and equipment, as well as wheelchair-accessible rides such as roundabouts and trampolines.

Adults can relax at the new cafe and outdoor terrace at the park which will serve drinks and snacks.

Simon Cope, Commercial and Marketing Director at Butlin's said: “Our new SKYPARK is going to be incredible! It’s a fantastic addition to our Skegness resort and has been purpose-built with inclusion in mind.
