South Park play area revamp

Work will start next month to revamp the play area in South Park

New multi-play toddler equipment will be installed and a bespoke junior play unit will run through the middle of the play area. This new equipment will encourage children to climb, balance, swing, slide, rock and crawl.

A double basket swing, inclusive roundabout and a two-metre high, stainless steel slide will also be added. The play area ground surface will also be overlaid and repaired.

The play area was last refurbished in 2005 and the latest revamp follows a consultation with park users last year. We have also worked closely with South Park Foundation, and elected members, to design the new play area,

The work is scheduled to start on Monday 15 April and the play area will be closed for two weeks while it is carried out. Check out our Facebook page for updates as this exciting work progresses!
