Trelay is set to introduce a new children’s play area for the 2025 season, scheduled to open in spring. The development follows feedback from site owners and guests, and aims to replace existing play equipment that has reached the end of its lifespan. The upgrade also seeks to expand the variety of activities available for visiting children and grandchildren.
According to the site, the new play area has been designed to balance entertainment for children with the overall tranquil environment that many guests value.
“For those who love Trelay for its tranquility, we understand a new play area may not immediately sound appealing. However, we believe this thoughtful and engaging facility will help keep children happily entertained in a designated space, preserving the peaceful atmosphere you value,” the management stated.
According to a news release, the planned equipment includes a triple swing bay with a cradle seat for toddlers, a flat seat, and a large bird’s nest swing designed to accommodate children with additional needs. A traditional seesaw and springy figures themed around Trelay’s heritage—including a tractor, sheep, and chicken—will be available for younger children.
For families wishing to supervise children while engaging in other activities, the play area will feature a covered picnic table with a games top suitable for board games such as snakes and ladders or draughts. A five-piece trim trail will also be installed, consisting of a tyre cross challenge, inline hurdles, swinging log steps, twister logs, and a vine walk.
Trelay has released CGI images and a video preview of the planned development, providing an early look at the new facilities. The project reflects broader trends in outdoor hospitality, where operators increasingly consider family-friendly infrastructure as part of guest experience strategies.
For business owners, Trelay’s approach highlights the potential to enhance guest satisfaction and broaden appeal to multi-generational visitors, while maintaining the core attributes of their property.
The play area is expected to be fully operational by the opening of the 2025 season, with final installations scheduled for completion in early spring.
