Images below have been created using recent photos of the park superimposed with photos of the same play equipment sited in other open spaces in Poole.  Their sole purpose is to provide an impression of how the new facilities will fit into the park landscape.  The scale cannot be guaranteed, but is a close representation:

A mock-up of the rebound wall re-oriented (north-south); the bowling green is to the left and the fenced play area to the right.

It will be fronted by a special all-weather synthetic sports surface in green

A mock-up of the zip wire, moved from the central area of the park to run alongside the footpath past the play area

A mock-up of the buddy swing proposed for the park

(for safety, and to prevent wear-and-tear, the swing will require a green 'grassmat' surface below it, as does the zip wire)

The original design for play (November 2009) - following discussions with residents the zip wire has been moved and the rebound wall re-oriented (see above)
