Description

Background and vision:

Lyminge Parish Council recently took Meriden Park from Folkestone District
Council. The park is nestled at the corner of St Mary's Close and St Mary's Drive
in Etchinghill which is within the Kent Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
The park is currently closed to members of the public due to the equipment being
unsafe.

The Parish Council has discussed the refurbishment of the park, at length, with
its regular users. The general consensus is that the parish would like to see the
park feature more inclusive and accessible equipment. The Parish Council also
feel that the aesthetics of the park are important and should be natural in
appearance.

The general ethos for the park should be inclusivity and accessibility with a focus
on encouraging imaginative and educational play.

Equipment:
The Parish Council are keen to see the following items incorporated into any
proposals:
- Climbing frame with a slide
- Swings
- Ground level trampoline (suitable for wheelchair users)
- Ground level roundabout (suitable for wheelchair users)

In addition to this, and subject to available space the Parish Council are eager to see smaller, filler items and would welcome proposals with flooring options.

You will notice that there are two entrances to the play park, a single gate entrance and another double gate. The double gate should be utilised to increase access for wheelchair and pushchair users.

Please note that full information is available via the downloadable PDF.
