Enfield Council has said major playground renovations ahead of the summer holidays are almost completed.

The £292,000 programme will see four of the borough’s parks - Lee Road Open Space, Ponders End Park, Tatem Park and Delhi Gardens - get facelifts and receive modernised play equipment, as well as new entrances to make them more accessible for disabled children and their families.

Work is nearly done at Ponders End, where the park underwent a £1million facelift three years ago, and has finished at Lee Road. 

Cabinet member for environment, Cllr Daniel Anderson, said all four will be done before the start of the holidays.

He said: “There is clear evidence that there is a link between play and brain development, developing motor-skills, and developing good social skills, and we’re determined to continue to provide first-rate play facilities to help children enjoy, explore and get some exercise all over Enfield.

”Don’t forget there are loads of fun things to do in our parks for the whole family, so I’d suggest you get yourselves down there and have some fun.”
