Brackla Junior School play area and Jubilee Crescent children’s playground in Bridgend will commence works on the 1 July with expected completion on the 26 July 2024.

Along with groundworks at Waunllwyd play park, Nantymoel starting next week with new equipment expected to be installed on the 3 June 2024.

Newbridge Playing Fields play park upgrades which started last month are expected to be completed on the 7 June 2024.

Children’s play areas are an important facility for our local community, so it's great news that the refurbishment programme is now underway, with several parks planned to reopen in time for the summer holidays.

Being able to access good quality play areas, close to home, can make a huge difference in our communities.

That's why we're continuing to invest in play areas across the county borough, to create safe, accessible and fun spaces for children to enjoy.
