Things are about to take off at the Paignton Geoplay Park in Devon, a Community Spaces flagship project.
The project’s official launch will take place in June, but this weekend local children are being invited to try out the park, which is themed to reflect the area’s location at the heart of the English Riviera Geopark.
Here’s a time-lapse film of the construction of the entrance stone to the park… if only all work on site could be completed this quickly!
Good news from Devon where the Paignton Town Community Partnership is moving full steam ahead with plans for an ambitious play park.
The last planning hurdles were cleared this week and work on the Paignton Geoplay Park is due to start in September.
The playpark will be themed on the geological heritage of the town, part of the English Riviera Geopark. It has been made possible through a £447,000 Community Spaces Flagship grant and £53,000 from other local funders.
There’s now a World Class Playpark for Paignton Green Facebook page promoting the project.
As one Facebook comment says: “A triumph for so many people – the community partnership, the contractor, the council officers, the project management, the residents and traders of Paignton and families from across the world who will now have a free place to play and enjoy our lovely English Riviera. Let’s get it built!”
The Friends of Meols Park, in Cheshire, have been granted just under £25,000 from the Community Spaces programme. They’re off to a great start, having already installed some of the new play equipment for the park – look: http://friendsofmeolspark.wordpress.com/2009/06/16/back-in-place-and-starting-to-look-good/
Cheers All Around! Ann Arnold from RAP with Community Spaces Facilitator Rebecca Luff
