In 2023 the community gave us feedback on Rosella Play Space because it had reached the end of its life span.

In response to feedback we received, we’re planning to keep the playground in its current location and add monkey bars and seating.

Subject to approval and lead times of play equipment, construction is expected to start in November / December 2024.

Rosella Reserve is a neighbourhood park in Broomfield and is surrounded by residential streets. The current play equipment has come to the end of its useful life and is being replaced with modern, fit for purpose play equipment. This is a like-for-like renewal, so the modern equivalent of the existing play equipment has been selected.

We are also proposing a change to the location of the play space as shown in the plan below. This will improve access to the play space as it joins onto an existing footpath with connections to the Ben Nevis Drive carpark, and SH1 bus stop.

1. Deluxe Swing 3-Bay (metal frame)

Two standard swings and one toddler swing promotes intergenerational play and connection between the users.

2. Regular Seesaw

Helps to develop balance, coordination, fine motor skills, social skills and teamwork.

3. Double Slide

Two slides side-by-side promotes balance, coordination, gross motor skills and social development. Suitable for all ages.

4. Honeycomb Carousel

Users can sit, lay, kneel or stand in the basket, which helps to develop balance, coordination and fine motor skills. Suitable for all ages.

We added the Honeycomb Carousel for inclusive play. The play space is connected to the park's existing accessible footpath, and we have included a ramped entry into the play space, for improved access to the Honeycomb Carousel.

The surfacing is playground certified safety bark. No trees are affected by this work.
