Whitecliff Recreation Ground
Work has started on a project to completely refurbish the much-loved and well-used play park at Whitecliff Recreation Ground. The existing equipment is slowly but surely failing with two major pieces recently removed - although we did install a very popular 'Buddy Swing' in place of the old tyre swing, in time for last summer's visitors.
The project has an allocated budget in excess of £180,000. In December 2007 Tenders were received from six play equipment suppliers, the contract has been awarded and the final unique and exciting design has been fine-tuned. Planning Permission was granted on 20th May 2008, but work will not start on the new playground until 2009.
The playground will be closed to the public from Monday 5th January when our contractors, J Corcoran Ltd, will clear the site of the old equipment. It is hoped that the installation team will arrive on 19th January and have completed the project by the Easter weekend, 10th April.
Further updates will be posted here, and through on-site signage.
