Final Plan Now Available for Bower Cottages Play Space Refresh

8 December 2023

Following consultation with Bower Cottages users and visitors in May/June 2023, we are happy to share a final concept plan that was informed by feedback received by key users of the play equipment during the consultation process. You can view the final plans below.

We were able to make the size of the play area a bit bigger, by removing some redundant garden spaces and old/rotten planter boxes, to allow an additional piece of play equipment to be included in the new play space. This extra size has allowed us to keep the proposed swing set, a slightly smaller spinning/climbing feature, and also add a seesaw rocker, which was a popular feature requested in the consultation. New planting and natural sitting rocks will be added inclusions in the new space.

Construction will start in February 2024 (or early March), and the current play area and a section of the pathway will be closed throughout the works.
