The new outdoor Gym equipment is being installed. There will be an opening day in May. We will post details shortly.
Another Equipment update
Park Equipment Update
If you go into Avenue Park right now (Early March 2024) , you’ll see that the children’s playground area has been temporarily closed.
Work is underway to install new playground equipment.
At the same time, work is also underway to replace the Outdoor Gym. New pathways have been laid to the Gym area which has had a fence erected around it.
If all goes to plan, then both the playground and the gym will be open by late spring.
Outdoor Gym
Watch this space!
There are plans afoot to start work on the new Outdoor Gym later this month, with a possible opening of the new facility in May.
Check back here for updates.
