Work begins on Rochford play spaces

Four play areas in the Rochford District in Essex are set for a major refresh over the coming months, with improvement works planned at Fairview Recreation Ground, Clements Hall Leisure Centre, Hockley Woods and Sweyne Park.

The programme of works is part of a wider investment in community play spaces by Rochford District Council and will replace ageing equipment, improve safety surfacing and modernise play areas where facilities have reached the end of their life – or where there is an opportunity to enhance the play experience for local children and families. At Clements Hall Leisure Centre, existing play equipment which is up to 20 years old will be replaced as part of a wider upgrade to the site, while at Hockley Woods, the toddler play area will be upgraded.
