Falkland Place Open Space Improvements

Priority improvements you mentioned were:

• Provide more stimulating play equipment to enhance the experience for local families.

• Enhance the open space’s visual appeal, including more colourful planting.

• More privacy and security for the residential housing backing onto this area.

• Balancing the needs of dog walkers, families with children and casual users.

We have developed a design proposal (please see attached) that addresses these priorities by the following features:

•Older children’s play area - New play equipment such as timber balance poles and stone boulders providing more opportunities for natural play.

•Toddler’s play area - Installation of rubber mounds, stepping stumps and trampoline encouraging free and imaginative play.

•Colourful planting to include evergreen and a range of flowers to enhance the space.

•Railings along bordering properties to reduce impact of anti-social behaviour on residents.

•Extension of the lawn area in the older children’s play area and reduction in the size of the dog exercise area.
