Lot 1. New play zone - Area 1 (Lot 1)
Description
Area 1 - Replacement play zone
TThe play area was built in 2000, with the current equipment was installed in 2011. Although the play area is well-used, the equipment is dated and limited. The colours are overly muted, and it does not appear as an attractive destination for play.
A replacement play zone is required for this area which is inclusive and accessible, provides interest and challenge for all, and helps to develop character in the town centre.
