Ross-on-Wye Town Council has installed a new piece of play equipment at the Ropewalk thanks to funding from the UK Government through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund.

The Canopus is a fantastic piece of interactive playground equipment, which brings a new dimension to outdoor play.

Designed as a space station, it offers children a unique opportunity to embark on an engaging and challenging adventure.

At the heart of Canopus lies a solid central core, serving as both a hub for planning and observation, allowing young explorers to strategize their next move. The open triangle and play shell features provide exciting climbing and seating options for those looking to stay grounded while they engage in physical play.

The spinning motion of the equipment challenges kids to regain their balance and control, promoting physical strength, social interaction, and emotional resilience.

Designed to inspire both individual growth and cooperative play, Canopus is an innovative way for children to develop essential motor skills, build confidence, and enjoy a valuable experience that combines both play and learning.
