Exciting new revamp on the cards with dilapidated Elizabeth Road play area to undergo exciting renovation

The play area Elizabeth Road, Waterlooville has been re-designed to better suit the needs of the local community following a public consultation carried out by Havant Borough Council.

New play equipment will include swings, a wheelchair accessible roundabout and seesaw, a spinning bowl, a daisy springer, multiple sensory play panels, and a multi-user calisthenics unit. There will also be two picnic tables.

Currently the playground has broken and missing equipment, but the refurbishment has been made possible thanks to £88,900 funding secured from the Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) fund gathered through contributions made via local developers.

Councillor Antonia Harrison, the council’s cabinet lead for community wellbeing, said: "We want to create play areas that bring together all ages and abilities, where people can stay active and enjoy the new, accessible equipment.

“I look forward to seeing the newly refurbished play area at Elizabeth Road."

Works will be undertaken by Kompan Ltd and are due to commence later this spring.
