“Steps have been taken at some play areas to support social distancing and I would ask everyone to follow the safety guidelines displayed on signs at each of our outdoor spaces. Please do look after yourselves and your families.”
Adults accompanying children to the play areas should be limited to one per household to allow more children to use the equipment, and the council is urging families to come back later if play areas are busy.
To help control the spread of coronavirus, the council is also requesting that all visitors wash their hands or use anti-bacterial gel before and after using the play or outdoor gym equipment.
