A play park in Poole has been reopened after BCP Council carried out works to fix safety concerns.

Kingston Road playground was previously closed due to safety concerns.

The green spaces team recently carried out work to install brand new equipment, repair broken steps and lay fresh surface as part of the council’s £4.4million Plan for Play strategy.

Cllr Andy Hadley, portfolio holder with responsibility for parks at BCP Council, said: “Kingston Road is at the heart of my ward and I know how important it has been for the local community to get it re-opened.

“I’m really pleased that, through our £4.4million Plan for Play strategy, we’ve been able to do just that and ahead of the Easter holidays, too.

“Our team of officers have been hard at work relaying the surface, fixing the broken step and installing new equipment. They’ll be back in the next few weeks to jet wash the site and get it sparkling once again but the most important thing for our residents is that it is already back in use.”

New equipment has also been installed in Churchill Gardens, Mallard Road, Moordown Rec and Littlemoor Avenue. Major refurbishments at Kings Park, Noyce Gardens, Baiter, and Muscliff area are being progressed.
