Notice Information
Notice Title
The Views Play Area Replacement
Notice Description
Fleet Town Council invites suitably qualified suppliers to submit design and cost proposals for the redevelopment of The Views Play Area, located in Fleet, Hampshire. The Council's vision is to transform the site into a high-quality, safe, inclusive, and engaging play environment for children aged under 8 and 8-12 years. The existing play area currently comprises a mix of grass, concrete, and wet pour surfacing, and the redesign should consider how surfacing can be enhanced to improve accessibility, durability, safety, and overall user experience. The new design should maximise the opportunities presented by the park's natural contours to enhance play value, provide appropriate levels of challenge, and create an attractive and usable space for a wide range of abilities. A key objective of this project is to deliver a genuinely accessible and inclusive play space. The Council is seeking proposals that go beyond minimum compliance standards by incorporating accessible play equipment, inclusive play experiences, and thoughtful layout design to ensure children of all abilities can play alongside one another. Consideration should also be given to pathways connecting the upper and lower levels, surfacing transitions, seating, and social spaces to support parents, carers, and guardians with differing mobility needs. The Council intends for The Views Play Area to become a central destination playground and community hub within Fleet town centre, a welcoming and vibrant focal point that encourages families to spend time in the area and supports wider town centre activity. This project will be funded through a Public Works Loan. Shortlisted designs will be subject to public consultation, with the final decision made by the Town Council following consideration of community feedback.
