Out shopping with toddlers in tow? The soft play area inside Fishergate Shopping Centre offers a simple answer. It’s a safe and engaging space for children under six to interact and enjoy themselves, allowing grown-ups a short rest.

Right Where You Need It

Situated on the ground level, adjacent to the café seating area, the play zone is centrally placed. Parents and guardians can rest comfortably while the children play within sight. Everything you need are only steps away.

Safe Play for Little Ones

Soft flooring, gentle equipment, and regular upkeep make this a trustworthy play space. The environment is clean and orderly. Children must be supervised by an adult — it’s not a drop-off service.

Energy-Burning Breaks That Work

Shopping centres aren’t always child-friendly. This soft play area provides movement and stimulation mid-visit. That often means better moods later on.

Retail and Recreation Combined

Fishergate’s play zone is a practical feature for local parents. For adults, there’s less need to plan separate outings for errands and play. For shops, it helps retain footfall without adding cost to the visitor.

No Matter the Weather

With Preston’s weather often turning cold or wet, an indoor space like this is always appreciated. Whether it's drizzling outside or just chilly, families can count on this covered facility to entertain their children.
