It is heartbreaking and incredibly disappointing to see the devastation caused by vandalism in our playground last night. šŸ’”

This is a much-loved community space, created as a safe, fun and inclusive place for all children. The tunnel was specially designed for younger children and children with additional needs, ensuring everyone could enjoy the space.

To see the tunnel destroyed by fire last night is devastating. It is a loss for the whole community, but particularly for our children.

We want to acknowledge that this mindless act does not reflect the attitude of the majority of children and young people who use and enjoy the park every day. The good weather this year has seen them coming together to enjoy the active and passive recreational opportunities the space was designed to provide. We thank the majority who continue to respect and value our community space and we will continue to work to ensure our young people have these recreational and social spaces into the future.

Perhaps this is also an opportunity for parents and adults to talk with younger children about what happened, how it makes them feel and the consequences of such actions. Vandalism of any sort can have a lasting impact, and it is important that our young people understand that as they too grow up.

Our vibrant playground and park belongs to everyone. Let's continue to respect and protect this valuable community space.

We will keep everyone updated as we know more about repairs. šŸ’”

A recent study revealed that many children spend no time outdoors after school and at weekends, yet it is vital for their physical health and mental wellbeing

Thanks to Mag Coogan and the children from the ABC Club Playschool who have grown sunflowers for us all to enjoy in the park.
Looking forward to watching them grow.
