Beer children can now embark on pirate adventures, sailing the seven seas, thanks to a brand-new seafront play park.
Kompan finished works to completely replace the old park at Jubilee, which was no longer fit for purpose, after just five short weeks.
The design includes a large play ship with multiple activities, themed surfacing graphics of a beach, the sea and marine wildlife and a variety of play panels.
It all comes as part of a £400k district-wide revamp by East Devon District Council (EDDC).
EDDC will be using the money to replace a host of play areas across the district, including at:
- Lime Kiln, Budleigh – expected completion date (weather permitting): 5th April. Contractor Somerset Landscapes.
- Ashfield Close, Exmouth – expected completion date (weather permitting): Week commencing 29th April. Contractor: Somerset Landscapes.
- Jerrard Close, Honiton – expected completion date (weather permitting): 12th April. Contractor: Play UK.
- Palegate Close, Honiton – expected completion date (weather permitting): Early May. Contractor: Somerset Landscapes.
The parks have all been designed in consultation with the local town and parish councils, acting as community representatives to outline what they think residents would like.
