AFTER taking my children to the improved playground at Branksome Rec, I was bitterly disappointed at what I saw.
The climbing frame has been replaced by a much smaller frame, with little to stimulate the children’s imagination and the monkey bars being replaced with metal rings that are far too high for smaller children to try or even for parents to support them.
The roundabout has also been replaced with a one-seat chair, which adults cannot push the children on. The rec has had some very good improvements recently, however I feel this is a massive let down and I fear it may become under used as children become bored with it and be a easy target for vandalism.
I hope that the council rethink the design and put in some more equipment for children to explore.
