Rowley Park Play Park Project Update

With the play park now closed, work has really started to move at pace. The team is currently laying the foundations for the new surrounding pathways that will encompass the playground, while also beginning work on the base for the new Learn to Ride area.

As construction progresses, we anticipate some temporary closures to certain paths and areas of the park next week. We will confirm the affected areas early next week and keep everyone updated.

To stay up to date with the latest project news, progress photos, and important updates, make sure you're following our page.

🚨 IMPORTANT UPDATE – PLAY AREA CLOSURE 🚨

Following a site visit with Stafford Borough Council, and with heavy rain forecast alongside significant movement of heavy machinery in and around the play area, the decision has been made to close the play area with immediate effect.

While we appreciate this may be disappointing, the safety of our visitors, contractors and staff must always come first.

🛝 The next time we open the play area, it will be to welcome you into our BRAND NEW play space! 🎉

We’re incredibly excited about what’s to come and can’t wait to see the transformation take shape over the coming weeks.

Thank you for your patience and understanding while the project continues working towards delivering a fantastic new, inclusive play space for everyone to enjoy! 💚

Keep an eye on our page for progress updates as the project continues!
