QUESTION NO.7

QUESTION: Councillor N. Fennell

To ask the manager for an update on previously agreed motion No. 3 LPNC 26-09-23 calling for playground upgrades at Castlegate Park? It was stated in the response and from the manager, that following a new framework for playground works, that there would be significant upgrades, and not only confined to resurfacing and repairs." Please note that this playground is approximately 20 years old, the surrounding population has increased and this is the only playground serving the immediate original vicinity of Castlegate/Adamstown with over 1100 homes."

REPLY:

The playground at Castlegate was upgraded in Q4 2024.  The works included the replacement of the existing wet pour surface and the replacement of three older items of equipment with new items of equipment.  The new items include a multiplay unit, roundabout, basket swing, springer and DJ post.  The space net which was part of the original design was in good condition so rather than remove it, it was retained and retensioned to prolong its lifespan.
