WHAT DO WE MEAN BY PLAYGROUND RENEWAL?

When we are renewing our playgrounds we will make sure there is:

• somewhere to run;
• somewhere to swing;
• somewhere to slide; and
• somewhere to climb.

The current playground equipment will be replaced with new equipment, a seat will be installed and trees planted for shade. The surface around the play equipment will remain as soft fall (playground safe tan bark).

This renewal does not include fixed shade structures, water play, an increase in playground size or change of playground hierarchy (i.e. this playground will remain a Local playground).
