The upgraded playground at Trafalgar Park, Newport is now open. It features a small circuit path for young children to ride their bikes or scooters, a nature-play area and new play equipment.

The new expanded swing zone includes a flat swing, high-back toddler swing and the ever-popular basket swing.

The junior play area is perfect for toddlers and preschool aged children, with low level play structure, slide, shop counter for role play, noughts and crosses, and other interactive features.

Children aged 6­–10 years will enjoy the senior play area, with a larger and more challenging climbing frame, including a rock-climbing wall, ladders and monkey bars.

The area has been completely re-landscaped with sandstone terracing, new seating and picnic furniture, drinking fountain and park signage. It has also been resurfaced with a combination of rubber softfall, synthetic grass and mulch. All existing trees have been retained and protected.
