Queen Street Play area inc skate park and pump track (as at 31.07.20)

CARA had hoped to open the play area and other equipment after the Covid-19 lockdown restrictions were relaxed, however there have been some unexpected issues which have further delayed the re-opening date.  We are working hard to resolve the issues as soon as possible.  Please do not attempt to access the site whilst it remains closed , as it may further add to the delay.

Thank you for your patience.
