Improving play facilities at the People’s Park
Work has started on phase two of the play area in People’s Park which will see the addition of a number of new, inclusive pieces of equipment for children of all abilities, including a wheelchair swing.
Council received a strong response from the public on their views of play provisions of what should be included in the new play park.
Almost 1,000 people got involved in the public consultation. The delivery of phase two of the play area will see the two existing play areas combined and extended to provide a new, inclusive play experience for children visiting the park. This piece of work is due to be completed by Easter 2021. A further phase of work is planned at a later stage which will entail the creation of a teen space in what was the bowling green within the park.
The old section of the park will be closed to the public for the duration of the works.
