Notice Title

Fair Park Regeneration

Notice Description

This project will deliver the refurbishment of the existing play park, to create a modern, safe, and inclusive play space that meets the needs of local children and families. The current equipment has reached the end of its useful life and no longer reflects best practice in play design, accessibility, or safety standards. The refurbishment will involve the removal of outdated equipment and the installation of new, high-quality play features designed to encourage active play, creativity, and social interaction. The improved layout will provide opportunities for children of different ages and abilities, supporting physical development, confidence, and wellbeing.
