The Parish Council is thrilled to announce the winning contractor and design for its new playpark, decided at the Council’s meeting on 12th June 2023. ESP Playparks has created a design that aims to challenge, excite and inspire, as well as encourage children of all abilities to play together.
This £100,000 project represents a huge investment and will transform the current play equipment in this much loved play area. The incredible response to the public consultation has fed into the final design, creating a playpark that will appeal to children up to age 12 (and the young at heart) with a focus on equipment that is accessible, high quality and offers the best play value.
The design includes: – Bespoke, 3.5 metre centre-piece junior castle flowing into a ‘tangled’ climber – Bespoke, toddler castle – Trampoline – Roundabout – Train and carriage for imaginative play – Lots of swings! – A central space for groups to sit, with sensory items nearby (as well as additional seating around the park) – Extension of the fenced area to increase the space for play. Some of the smaller items have been subject to change (via consultation with the Steering Group) since the original design, including the sensory panels and music equipment.
ESP Playparks has confirmed a start date of 11th September, with the aim to complete the project within 2-3 weeks. Failing any delays, the new playpark should be opened at the end of September 2023.
