Families can help choose new play equipment for King George's Park

The council has unveiled three new designs for the park's play area which will see the existing facilities upgraded with 'exciting and challenging' new play equipment.

The designs are the subject of a new public consultation that will be running until April 16.

They have been drawn up based on the results of a previous survey which asked children and families what new types of new play equipment they'd like to see installed and also following assessments of which of the existing equipment is most in need of replacement.

•  Option 1.

•  Option 2.

•  Option 3.

The playground is designed to be used by children of all ages up to the age of 16.

Funding for these improvements comes from money the council has levied on property developers to help pay for community and local neighbourhood infrastructure improvements.

Parks and open spaces spokesman Cllr Steffi Sutters said: "There are three really exciting designs for children and their families to choose from and I would urge everyone who uses this playground in King George's park to get involved in the consultation and tell us which design they prefer."

Residents who would prefer to complete a paper copy of the consultation questionnaire can email [email protected] or call 0772 511 4053.
