Sidmouth’s revamped Long Park play area is due to open ‘any day now’, according to the town council.
After a series of delays that were beyond the council’s control, the remodelling is almost complete, and work will then begin on the Ham play area on Monday, September 26.
Cllr Louise Cole, one of the project leads, said: “The challenges faced with the park renewals have been very frustrating for everyone and we know that Long Park is tantalisingly close and looking really good.
“As soon as the flooring is complete and set it will be ready for use – any day now.
“I share the excitement of children who can see that it is nearly ready for play! I am also pleased that the new Ham play park will soon be underway, it has been designed with children's and parents' input to use the space better, be more inclusive and to reflect our coastal identity and will be unique to Sidmouth.”
