Bath & North East Somerset Council’s £225,000 investment into 10 local play parks will be completed before Christmas. A new see-saw has been added to the Sydney Gardens play area in Bathwick.

Cllr David Martin said: “This continued investment into our local play parks will benefit many children and families and we’re delighted to be able to complete this work before the Christmas holiday. Play equipment has a natural shelf-life and Bath & North East Somerset Council wants to make sure that our areas are safe as well as fun. We welcome feedback on the new facilities being provided and look forward to a new generation of children having fun on our play areas.”

Improvements to the play area at Bath’s Royal Victoria Park are also planned in the new year, as part of a wider investment project. This will include replacing the play park’s triple slides with a bespoke slide and tower unit.
