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.
Stage one
Fort replacement – completed July 2024.
Stage two
Playground upgrades, infrastructure improvements and renewal of park furniture.
Works will commence in February 2026, with completion anticipated by the end of June 2026.
Comprehensive upgrades to the park are detailed further below. To ensure public safety during these works, the playground area will need to be closed.
During construction, temporary fencing will be in place around the area highlighted below whilst park upgrades are in progress.
Variable Message Boards will be in place on the verge to communicate this temporary closure to the public.
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.
