to replace four springers with a ground trampoline,
seesaw, carousel and imaginary play jeep. The new
items greatly increase the variation of play items
available to users. In addition, the raised beds have
been replanted with new shrubs and the Council aim
to carry out a re-surface of the whole site and install
some additional thermoplastic graphics and games.
