Proposal

The proposals involve removing existing play equipment on site and installing new play items and outdoor gym equipment as part of a circular play trail. The proposals seek to enhance the natural appearance and features of the site, whilst extending the existing play offer to make more of the available space. The new play area will cater to children aged 0-14 providing an enhanced play area. Additionally, the refurbishment will include modest improvements to existing boundaries, whilst respecting residents privacy and addressing known issues of anti-social behaviour.
