We asked

You said

More seating/communal areas and some water play element. Option 5 was the most popular play area choice. Leaving the fence in place was the most popular choice

We did

We are working on designs for the paddling pool area, and incorporating your views. For the play area, we will be appointing the designers of Option 5. The fencing will remain in place around the grassed area.

Results updated 26 Sep 2014

The public consultation received 78 responses to the survey. 

Paddling Pool

The majority of respondents felt that some sort of improvements to the landscape should take place which would include more seating/communal areas where people could gather and picnic.  Some water play element should be incorporated as shown by the number of mentions of ‘paddling pool’ and ‘fountains/water features’.

Play Area

Respondents were given a choice of five play area design options and asked to indicate which ones they preferred.  The most popular option chosen was option 5, followed by, 3 and 1. 

Fencing

The majority of respondents 37.33% (28) felt that the fencing at the end of Hillstowe Street should remain as it is.  32% (24) of the respondents to this question were ambivalent, choosing either ‘don’t mind’ or didn’t answer the question at all.

Other Comments

Respondents were also asked to provide further comments about the proposed improvements to the park.  The majority of respondents highlighted ‘hard and soft landscape improvements’ followed by ‘seating and furniture’ and ‘play for older children’.
