As part of the Council’s Neighbourhood Renewal Scheme programme and with funding from the UK Government’s Shared Prosperity Fund, delivery of the new playground in Splott Park begins on Monday January 27 and is expected to last 14 weeks.

The Neighbourhood Renewal Schemes programme is based on regeneration priorities identified by ward councillors, as representatives of their communities and delivers regeneration projects all over the city ranging from new parks and street improvements to community safety improvements.

The design of the Splott playground was finalised, taking into consideration the views of the local community on what they would like to see in the park. The area includes play equipment for toddlers, juniors and teens as well as accessible play equipment and natural play areas.

Cabinet Member for Housing and Communities, Cllr Lee Bridgeman said: “I’m pleased to see work getting underway on this scheme – it’s a fantastic, fun design.

“The new playground will provide a vibrant and inclusive environment for children of all ages and abilities to enjoy, which I’m sure will have a positive impact on the local community.”
