The current play equipment has come to the end of its useful life and is being replaced with modern play equipment. This is mostly a ‘like-for-like’ renewal, so we plan to select the modern equivalent of the existing equipment. Currently, the play space offers a slide, two seesaws and a swing set with 3 strap seats and a toddler swing.

What we’re planning

• Renewing the play space with modern versions of the equipment or alternatives that offer a similar play value. We are suggesting that we group the play equipment together, taking advantage of the shade from existing trees and potentially adding nature play around it.
• Installing a footpath that connects the street to the playground and installing an accessible picnic table.

Alternatively, we’re looking at substituting the four pieces of play equipment with a simple tree fort built around/close to, the existing cypress tree (large tree bordering Midhurst Road), which could include a slide and climbing elements.
