    College Road play area in Gabalfa has officially re-opened to the public following refurbishment.

    Developed following consultation with pupils at Ysgol Gymraeg Glan Ceubal and Gabalfa Primary School, the upgrade to College Road play area was designed to make the most of existing embankment features in the play area and includes a range of accessible and inclusive play features.

    Children visiting the play area can now enjoy:

    • a three bay swing set.
    • basket swing.
    • a wheelchair accessible roundabout.
    • accessible play puzzle, noughts and crosses, and a light-up challenge play feature.
    • hill slides.
    • climbing features.
    • new play mounds.
    • brand-new safety surfacing

    Cabinet Member for Culture, Leisure and Tourism, Cllr Jennifer Burke, said: “We’re investing in upgrades to play areas across Cardiff because we know that access to good quality, safe, imaginative places to play is really important for children.

    “When those places to play are free and on your doorstep, they can also have a huge impact on families, particularly at a time when many are struggling with the cost of living.”
