We love Friston, but our 5 year old was mortified to find that the play structure in the Litlington Road car park had vanished ? What happened ? Will it be coming back?

This is a lovely walk. The car park is large and there is even a wooden play area for children. Toilets were clean. Plenty of space for picnics.
