Queen’s Park play area has seen major refurbishment with a new fort and improved accessibility.
Cllr Andy Hadley, portfolio holder with responsibility for parks and gardens, said: “In the coming months there will be full-scale replacement and refurbishments at Treasure Island, Anchor Close, Kings Park, Mallard Road and Noyce Gardens – as well as repairs and improvements at dozens of other sites across our three towns.
“Behind the scenes, our team is working closely with designers and suppliers to make sure each play space reflects the needs of its neighbourhood. We’re also exploring further funding opportunities and supporting community groups who want to get involved.”
Cllr Sandra Moore, portfolio holder with responsibility for play strategy, said: “We know that what matters most to communities is not necessarily our overall plans but specifically about the play spaces they and their families use the most.
“Together, our team is creating welcoming, imaginative and inclusive play spaces for children and families to enjoy for generations to come – and I’m really proud of how we’re transforming local play spaces to better serve their communities.”
