UPDATE 25/3/20 - The play area is closed until further notice.
Some parks remain open and we urge you that while it is ok to use our parks to walk, run or cycle on your own, or with other members of your household, please refrain from gathering in large groups and using the space for any other activity that is not part of your daily exercise allowance (e.g. having picnics).The more we can stay at home, the more lives we will save, and the quicker we can welcome you back.
