Project overview
The play space at Rotary Park will be upgraded to ensure it is accessible for all to enjoy.
Upgrades will include:
- Replacement of the existing fort.
- Refurbishment of sand play area providing new play equipment and shade sales.
- New nature place space.
- New play equipment for all ages.
- Additional fencing to enclose the park and improve safety.
- Rubberised surfaces to improve accessibility.
Changes will be completed in two stages.
Closures
To ensure public safety, the playground area will remain closed until these works are completed.
Signage will be in place to communicate the continuing temporary closure to the public.
An electronic message board will be onsite from mid-August to communicate the expected reopening date. Information will also be shared on our social media channels.
During construction, temporary fencing will be in place around the area highlighted below whilst park upgrades are in progress.
Whilst it is inevitable that works of this nature will cause some inconvenience, every endeavour will be made to ensure this is kept to a minimum.
