The Town Council's been working at seven locations
£70,000 of upgrades to play parks across Weymouth have been completed.
The Town Council's been working over the last few months to install new equipment at seven locations.
They include Pottery Lane, where a new climbing frame with a slide has been installed.
Melcombe play area now features a wheelchair-accessible roundabout, a dolphin-shaped springer, and talking tubes for children to enjoy.
The Lodmoor play area has a new timber rope-end swing, a springer, and a rotating climbing frame.
Telford Close in Preston now boasts new swings, and Miles Gardens in Upwey has a replacement swing, while Westmacott play area has a four-seat spring seesaw, and Honeysuckle Close now has a new springer in the shape of a falling star.
All seven play areas are now back open and can be used by the public again.
Mayor of Weymouth, Cllr Jon Orrell, said:
“It’s fantastic to see the Council investing in play areas for children in Weymouth. I’m confident these upgrades will be greatly enjoyed by the younger residents.
“We are committed to improving the wellbeing of Weymouth residents, and these enhanced play areas are a significant step towards that goal.”
