Some seating? Date
of Visual Survey
- Aug 2004 The
ideas and possibilities outlined below are designed to help
members of the local community as they think about what
could happen on this site. Nothing is fixed and alternative
solutions may well emerge over
the coming
decade - it is for the local community to decide and enable
it to happen. 1. Visual
Attributes - update 2004 This
playground, surrounded by housing, is bounded by a
dry stone wall to the south, west and east, and a
concrete post and wire fence to the north. Two old
sets of swings and a slide on patched tarmac have
been supplemented with a new multiple-activity set
which stands on its own rubber surface. However,
the swings seem to be the more popular choice for
children. This hard flat area is surrounded by mown
grass, which forms a bank to the south and a wide
strip to the east which is unused, probably due to
the prominent ‘No Ball Games’ sign.
Safety Its
open aspect, enclosed boundary and the fact that it
is overlooked by housing, make it an ideal place
for a children’s playground. The rutted
tarmac surface is a tripping hazard, however, and
the lack of lighting prevents use after
dark. Activities
that the site supports at
present The
site provides play for children ranging from around
5-12 years’ old. The grass is used for
sitting. 2. Activities
that could be supported in the future (but
note comment in Ideas for change) More
informal and imaginative play could be encouraged
on the site, offering an alternative to the current
formal play equipment. Older and younger children
might also be wish to use this site. Currently
there is no seating for parents. More interesting
tree, shrub and/or perennial planting could replace
some of the grass. Ecology HABITAT
