Play Area Number: 2

Location: Launton Meadows, Boston Road, Bicester

Location Details: The play area is in a large open space surrounded by a combination bund of trees and scrubs. The site is on the outskirts of a large family housing estate and is considered to be one of the oldest play areas in the Town and the usage is moderate. Due to the poor state of the equipment it is not used that much by local/town residents and tends to draw an unwanted crowd of people on a regular basis.
