Tender description
Corrib Road Playground is located within a green space at the base of the hill in Devonshire Road Rock Gardens, a well-used park that serves both existing residents and a growing local community. The site is accessible from surrounding streets, including Inver Road, and will also benefit from improved connectivity via new footpath links associated with nearby housing developments. Due to significant house building in the area, there is a clear opportunity to redevelop the existing playground, which is now outdated and in need of improvement. The current space no longer meets the needs of the expanding community or modern expectations for play. This project will focus on transforming the playground into a modern, functional and inclusive space that caters for children and young people of all ages. The aim is to create a well-designed play environment that supports a range of play types, encourages physical activity, and provides a welcoming destination for both new and established residents. ## Contract award
