SECOND PHASE PLAYGROUND REDEVELOPMENT: It is almost here!
The Friends of Queen’s Park is pleased to announce that the Council has awarded the contract for the second phase redevelopment of the play area and the new equipment could be in place before Christmas.
An exhibition at the Jubilee Library on Saturday, 9th November between 10am and 4pm will allow the local community to see how the appointed contractors, Kompan, have interpreted the brief developed by the Council following the consultation supported by the Friends of Queen’s Park.
Officers and representatives of the contractors will be on hand to answer questions at the design reveal, which also features the delivery of other designs for Hove Park and Wild Park.
The next phase will start mid-November with a possible completion date ahead of Christmas.
The new features will include new equipment for the toddlers area; a sand pit element; a pendulum swing; a new climbing stack and the much anticipated zip wire.
It is anticipated that the next phase, which will now include elements catering for toddlers, teenagers and young adults, will take four weeks to install and will require some parts of the play area to be temporarily closed while the installation is being progressed.
