Well-respected
play specialists, Timberplay have joined forces with Odds Farm Park to host a
Play Study Day, focusing on how play can be best utilised to boost visitor
numbers and improve visitor satisfaction levels.
The
event, held at Odds Farm in Buckinghamshire on Wednesday 2 May 2018 features an
array of specialist speakers.
Attendees
will learn about; the history of play, the psychological reasoning behind play,
the importance of risk and challenge within play, management and maintenance of
play spaces, how to effectively market play and how to deal with negative
feedback.
Attendees
will be taken on a site tour around Odds Farm and experience their outdoor play
areas first hand.
Timberplay’s
relationship with Odds Farm Park spans back to 2013 when the popular attraction
installed a toddler role play area. This was soon followed by the creation of a
sand and water play area in 2014 and an extensive Adventure Play Area in 2016.
More recently, Odds Farm revealed a new Adventure Play Fort last year and those
attending the Study Tour will be one of the first to experience the farm’s
amazing new water play area.
The
work between the two was recently recognised within the industry after
Timberplay won Best Trade Supplier at the National Farm Attraction Network
(NFAN) annual awards for the continued success in the work carried out at the
farm.
