Newark - Renovation of Tolney Lane Play Park

The project aims to renovate an outdated and unused playpark, installing sustainable easy access equipment and remove an old sandpit.
Key features of the renovation include:
1. New Play Equipment: Modern, durable play structures suitable for various age groups will be installed. These may include multi-level climbing frames, slides, swings, and balancing structures to enhance physical activity, coordination, and confidence in children.
2. Inclusive Design: Accessibility is a priority, with equipment and paths designed for children of all abilities, including those with mobility challenges. Sensory-friendly features, such as interactive panels, musical play elements, and tactile surfaces, will ensure that every child can engage fully.
3. Safe and Clean Surfaces: Soft rubber surfacing will replace the sand, making it safer for children and easier for caregivers to navigate. This will reduce maintenance requirements and ensure the area is clean and usable year-round.
4. Seating and Shade: Comfortable benches and shaded areas for caregivers and families will be installed around the play space, encouraging longer visits and creating a welcoming community atmosphere.
5. Landscaping and Green Spaces: The layout will be enhanced with new plantings and natural elements to create an attractive, relaxing environment for all visitors. This will provide areas for picnics and community gatherings, turning the park into a social hub for families.
