Playground equipment at Pierremont Park, St Peters Rec. and Vincent Close is very old and non compliant with current standards. The existing playground at Warre Recreation ground, Ramsgate, has received funding from the Fire Service to relocate due to it not being easily accessible since construction of the new fire station. The existing equipment is not old and perfectly serviceable.
