Cllr David Dixon (Lib Dem, Oldfield), Bath & North East Somerset Council’s Cabinet Member for Neighbourhoods said: “This continued investment into our local play parks will benefit many children and families.
“Play equipment has a natural shelf-life and Bath & North East Somerset Council wants to make sure that our areas are safe as well as fun.
“We welcome feedback on the new facilities being provided and look forward to a new generation of children having fun on our play areas.”
This work follows £210,000 in improvements to eight play parks in Writhlington, Clandown, Midsomer Norton, Keynsham and Bath earlier this year.
