The revamp of New Hedges Play Park has been called a ‘community triumph’.

“One of the proudest moments of the last few months has been seeing the new accessible play park come to life. It’s been fantastic to see so many children and families enjoying it,” said village county councillor Rhys Jordan.

The official opening is on Friday, July 19 from 11am to 3pm, with a ‘Picnic in the Park’ event including Peppa Pig, Bluey, circus skills, and balloon modelling.

“This has been a real labour of love from a group of committed local volunteers. They’ve shown what’s possible when the community comes together with a shared goal. I’m so grateful for their hard work, and I know many of you are too,” he added.
