THE Vale of Glamorgan Council last night revealed plans for its final design for the refurbishment of Cosmeston play area.

In March the council announced the play area was set for £240,000 worth of upgrades, which was positively received by most on social media.

The council agreed with residents that the play area was in poor condition.

The Council is proposing to:

  • Remove the existing play equipment and surfacing (the Viper swing unit may be kept)
  • Design a new play area with a Medieval theme using a range of equipment made from timber and metal suitable for children aged between 2 - 12 years old
  • Install new seats, picnic tables and bins
  • Install new fencing around the play area
  • Plant new trees, shrubs or a wildflower meadow
  • Resurface the path leading to the play area
  • Include a base for small refreshment facilities

A post from the Vale of Glamorgan Council reads: "We're pleased to be able to share the final design for the refurbishment of the play area in Cosmeston Country Park, following a public consultation earlier this year. Working with Sunshine Playgrounds we hope to be able to begin work in late October for a period of eight weeks, weather permitting."
