Hamble playground reopens

Work to replace and create a new playground at Hamble play area in Belgrave, Tamworth, has been completed. Designed by Wicksteed, the £35,000 plans will incorporate a multi-play unit with towers, connecting bridge and pole slider, swings, sensory panel, seesaw, basket seat and a rock n bowl.

The new playground – which is owned by Tamworth Borough Council – includes low level access, hand holds, plus a wider variety of new play equipment.

Councillor Lewis Smith said: “The new Hamble play area will provide a bigger playground and new equipment. The area will now provide a multitude of play experiences and imaginative play opportunities for children to enjoy.

“A local playground is a wonderful way for parents to introduce young children to playground equipment and new friends. It will be far more exhilarating than the previous play area and more inclusive too.”
