A REVAMP of a Brownsover play area is underway.
Rugby Borough Council (RBC) developed the blueprint for the refurbishment of the play area in Sorrel Drive following public consultations, with the revamp including new play equipment and landscaping work.
New play equipment being installed includes a seesaw, roundabout and swing, with play panels for younger children.
Other play equipment featured in the refurb includes a ‘hula’ rotator, embankment slide, stepping pod and ‘talk tubes’, which allow children to communicate with friends and family while playing.
The refurbishment retains mature trees and shrubs at the site, while also planting new shrubs, and includes new fencing, seating and a litter bin.
Work on the revamp is set to be completed in eight to ten weeks, weather permitting.
RBC’s leisure and wellbeing spokesman Coun Adam Daly said: “The council has a rolling programme of improvements to the borough’s parks and green spaces, and we’re delighted to start 2024 with the refurbishment of the play area at Sorrel Drive.
“The community has played an active role in helping us to finalise our plans and we’re all looking forward to unveiling the new play area in the spring.”
