Warwick District Council has confirmed that works to install new play areas at Castle Farm, Kenilworth and Mill Gardens in Leamington Spa will begin this autumn.

Designed with feedback from Evergreen School and in partnership with play design experts, incorporating new equipment for all ages from tots to teens, the new areas will bring the community a new play experience to aid learning, social mobility and inclusivity.

In preparation for the work, the existing Castle Farm play area will be closed from Monday 8 September and will remain so until the new installation is completed, tested and ready for use. This will be followed by the closure of the Mill Gardens playground later this month.

Extensive works on both sites will encompass improvements to the drainage to accommodate the new play equipment, enhanced safety surfacing as well as additional provision for access needs.

For their safety members of the public are asked not to enter either of these construction sites while these works are in progress. Security measures will be in place.

Further information and updates on both projects is available on the Warwick District Council website
