New play area in Beccles officially opened
A children’s play area at Beccles Common has been officially reopened following the completion of refurbishment work.
Designed by eibe play Ltd, and aimed at toddlers and juniors, the play area features a basket swing, cradle swing for toddlers, a me-to-you swing, a cargo climbing net, a toddler climbing unit with slide, and a junior climbing unit, with a climbing wall and slide.
The refurbishment has been made possible thanks to a partnership between East Suffolk Council and Beccles Town Council and an official opening took place on Friday 11 August, attended by representatives from both councils and eibe play Ltd.
Cllr Katie Graham, East Suffolk’s cabinet member for Communities, Leisure and Tourism said: “This is a wonderful new facility providing modern, fun and engaging equipment for local families and visitors to enjoy. I’m delighted to see the final transformation and am sure this will continue to be popular play area for years to come.”
Cllr Christine Wheeler, Mayor of Becclessaid: “I’m delighted that this example of the two councils working together has resulted in such a lovely facility for Beccles families.”
Robyn Brookes, Playground Consultant at eibe play Ltd said: "The whole team at eibe thoroughly enjoyed working on your playground project for Beccles Common and are looking forward to seeing children using your new play equipment following its opening."
