New equipment at play park opens to public

New equipment at a play park in Jersey is ready to use, the government has said.

The infrastructure and environment department said the equipment at Coronation Park in St Lawrence was opened on Thursday.

The department said the old climbing frame was removed between 2019 and 2020 as it had reached the end of its "serviceable life".

In a post on social media, it said the new equipment included a climbing frame, a new surface and a carousel duel which "swings users through the air".

"The certified hard woodchip surfacing was brought in to maintain the natural environment aesthetic, whilst providing a safe surfacing material," the department said.

"New bike stands have also recently been installed behind the pavilion to encourage more cyclists to use the park."
