Thanks to the efforts of Mrs Dixon and Cllr Dixon (Lib Dem, Walcot) the Council is planning improve play facilities for children and young people at Sand Pits play park, Monksdale Road, Oldfield Park, Bath.

Local children and young people together with their families are invited to find out more and put forward their views at an open event on Friday August 7, from 2 – 5pm.

Mrs and Cllr Dixon together with us, Council Officers, the play park designers and the Police will be there to talk about the scheme and gather the views of as many local children and young people (and their families), as possible, to help develop ideas about the design of the park.

The investment into Sand Pits play park is part of £2.5 million investment across the area to encourage more children and young people to play outside safely in their own communities.

We are looking forward to showing these proposals to the local community and listening to their feedback. The Sand Pits has long been in need of some attention, it is a well used park with people from all over the city visiting.

Anyone unable to attend but interested in the improvements is invited to take a look at the Facebook group: ‘I love the Sand Pits!’.
