Playground update Nov 2026.

This playground update follows our previous update on 15th October.

Playdale have now started work on site following further adjustments to the playground layout. During the site preparation, it became apparent that the rubber surfacing would overlap the pipeline easement area. An additional manhole cover, which was not shown on the original plans, also meant changes were needed to the equipment placement.

Equipment installation is now underway and is expected to continue throughout November. The rubber surfacing is provisionally scheduled to begin on 30th November and will take approximately five days to complete.

Following this, the remaining groundworks will include levelling the topsoil, laying turf and installing grasslock tiles around the adventure trail. A post-installation inspection is provisionally planned for 14th December.

As some of the remaining work is weather-dependent, particularly the surfacing, a confirmed completion date is not yet available. We will share a further update once the timescales become clearer.
