WE DID IT! PHASE 1, SWALLOW PARK IS OPEN!

We are over the moon to announce that Swallow Park is open! This is phase 1, we still have equipment to add, however, we are pleased to say the Children of Mitchel Troy have somewhere safe to play, which was all their creation!

WE ARE DAYS AWAY FROM OPENING!
25th Oct 2020
After a lot of hard work from the team at Sunshine Playground and amazing community spirit, we are close to opening!
Weather has not been our friend and recent lockdowns have resulted in delays with equipment and signage, however, as long as the Inspector gives us a certicate of approval this week then Swallow Park will be open for the Children to play in.
We decided it was more appropriate to focus on the Children's needs and open to the public and we will schedule the remaining work, on the costmetic extras, over the next few weeks, to give the park the finishing touches.
