BBC Children in Need Sponsored Walk in the Park by pre-school children on Friday 14 November 2014. Thanks to Emma Houston and the other organisers and, of course, the children.

The work on both the play areas will be complete once the specialist contractor has installed the special rubberized safety surfaces around the various items of play equipment. Subject to weather, completion date of the work is estimated to be 14 November 2014.
