During the floods in 2007 this play area was under water, and again this year.

Late last summer the project began to put in new equipment. The site got cleared. The contractors – for whatever reason – took longer than planned. It may have been recession related. When they did put in the equipment the ground was wet and the matting did not lie flat.
So there has been a wait for warmer weather so that the ground can be levelled. It finally opened a few weeks ago with a new style information sign.
