Update 23 June on the improvements works in the Playground area of Paddington Recreation Ground

by

Improvement works in the play area at Paddington Recreation Ground progressing nicely and timely

The works are progressing well on the older children’s area and the  initial groundwork in preparation for the safety surfacing works has now been completed

The safety surfacing works will commence on Monday 26th June and be completed by Friday 30th June.

Once this is  completed the new clatter bridges and towers will be assembled on the week commencing 3rd July. The assembly should be quite quick as it comes pre-fabricated and we should be able to open this area by 5th July. The new kit will amount to almost 20% of additional playspace in this particular playarea which is great news.

Please note that all dates and progression works are weather dependant.
