Chalkwell park play equipment upgrade
The play equipment in Chalkwell park is in dire need of updating and replacing. In 2019 the over 8’s park saw loss of its roaming seesaw due to maintenance issues. The seesaw has not been replaced and no other equipment sought to fill the gap. The under 8’s park often floods due to water logging around equipment resulting in closures due to safety concerns.
Southend is now a city and focusing on its levelling up agenda. Our parks deserve to be prioritised in this vision.
Chalkwell park is a focal point for families in our area. It’s easy access location, proximity to public toilets ease of pedestrian access and mix of functions make it a much loved and multi-use space.
Unfortunately this great space is in dire need of updating and replacing its children’s play equipment. In 2019 the over 8’s park saw loss of its roaming seesaw due to maintenance issues. The seesaw has not been replaced and no other equipment sought to fill the gap. The zip wire often breaks, leaving it our is use for periods of time and the next swings are also often removed for maintenance leaving 5 pieces of equipment available to use. The under 8’s park often floods due to water logging around equipment resulting in closures due to safety concerns
Both parks have a minimal offer of play equipment for children who have mobility / disability issues and layout in both sites can be improved to aid
Southend is now a city and focusing on its levelling up agenda.
Our parks deserve to be prioritised in this vision.
