Drovers Way play area in Radyr is to get a water-themed refurbishment suitable for toddlers, juniors, and accessible play.

The play area will be in the shape of ‘water ripples and puddles' and includes a new layout with rubber safety surfacing, paving, and new seating. New play equipment will also be installed, including swings, a bouncing mat, an accessible carousel, spinners, a multi-unit with slide, spring toys, and imaginative play elements.

A contractor has been appointed and the improvement works, which are part of an ongoing programme of investment in parks and play areas across Cardiff, will begin once drainage works in the park are complete.

Cabinet Member for Culture, Parks and Events, Cllr Jennifer Burke, said: "Kids need to play, it's essential to their development, and having access to a good quality local play area can make such a difference for families. The investment we're making in Cardiff's play areas is so important and I'm delighted that we're now able to reveal our plans to bring the Drovers Way play area back into use."
