  I took Natascha to the Pencester Play area today,Thursday,at 7.35am.We couldn't use it yesterday afternoon as it was mobbed by ''taller children''.There were 2 mothers and another father there with their kids who had all had the similar idea to me..you have to get there early so the young ones can play in safety.
  
  The facilities are super except for the lobsided roundabout which spins the child off and dumps them on the floor as it circles round.One mother did try and warn me before Natascha was uncermoniously dumped on her jacksie.
  
  A particular individual..Jan P Jordan has felt it necessary to scrawl their name or 'tag' all over the lovely wooden climbing frame in red felt tip pen.Another graffitti 'artist' has left his/her 'tag' all over the top of the larger steel slide.The stone benches have also been attacked by a red marker pen.
  
  The zip slide is again working and Natascha loved it..but she had to be lifted onto the seat as some bright spark had decided to tie a knot in it to make it higher off the ground and more suitable for 'bigger' kids.Probably a safety requirement but clarification would be appreciated as the 2 young mothers had difficulty lifting their under 7's onto the zip slide seat.
  
  Finally the use of chopped bark is lovely in ones garden but as last nights wind proved its no match for the elements so consequently the playground is littered with bark shavings.
  
  My advice to parents of youngsters is to get down to Pencester early if you want your kids to enjoy the super facilities and as one mother said to me ''without the fruity language billowing from the skatepark''
