Play Area

The White Rose Shopping Centre outdoor play area is located in The Village, with fab play features and plenty of space for families to enjoy. 

The play area has been designed to be accessible for a variety of ages and abilities. It has a large canopy over part of the play area so its fun rain or shine. We have lots of things to play on and in - including a tractor, play-house, a wobble bridge, balance bumps and a hop-scotch game. We also have a balance beam, climbing frame with a slide and a giant swing.  The play area and the Village are completely smoke & vape free areas as part of Leeds City Councils Clean Air Leeds ambition.
Taking guest feedback into account, our play area has been designed with elements that help to develop mental and physical skills, including: 
•    A ‘theatre and music’ play house with xylophone and drum panels, which encourages explorative play and social cooperation while climbable areas stimulate motor skills like cross-body coordination 
•    A farmyard-inspired tractor slide, which spurs dramatic play with its recognisable theming, building communication, while its tunnel and slide develop cross-coordination and balance skills
•    A wobble bridge, inviting children to nurture their confidence and balance with suspended horizontal logs
•    Balance bumps, an activity trails which trains gross motor skills and contributes to decision-making 
•    And a hopscotch area to encourage competitiveness and general social play
