Amelia Crundwell & Lulu Armstrong I have great news for you. Council has commenced its planning for a major renewal/upgrade of the childrens playground at Founders Heritage Park. The project will be financed using some of the funds raised at the Founders Book Fair. NCC plans to refurbish the retro (more recent) items/equipment (roundabout & slide) but will be renewing the remaining play equipment. This will include accessible play equipment & consideration is also being given to other options for the surface of the playground, that should assist in alleviating the drainage issue. Council is starting work immediately on the sourcing/purchasing process & is aiming to get the project underway as soon as possible.

You will be interested to know that FHP playground is one of the most popular children playgrounds (among the 66) owned by NCC & is maintained with funds derived from Founders Heritage Park.

Playgrounds are so important for our children, aren't they?
