🛝 Playground Refurbishment Starts Today 🛝
The works on the redesigned East Park Farm play area commence today, and the playground will be closed until further notice.
The area will be surrounded with security fencing as the works take place, but please be take care around the site, and on the service road to the Pavilion.
The old bark chippings from the play area will be distributed around the trees along the perimeter of the play area, to enable them to compost down and provide nutrients to the treeline.
We expect these works to take around 4 weeks, before a professional playground safety inspection is undertaken. We are hoping to re-open the park before half-term.
You can find more detailed design drawings for the site on our website:
