Is anyone else really disappointed at the missed opportunity with the new playground on Ducketts Common? Hats off for the new safer and less messy floor surface and the increase in number of swings. But that huge climbing frame - I've never seen one child on it, it takes up a huge amount of space and yet all you can do is climb up it if you're an older child. No bridge, slide etc - the other wooden one was great. There is now only one really small slide that any child over 2 wouldn't be interested in and a new seesaw. A lot of wasted space - they could have put a sandpit in and some bouncy animals like the old ones they had before. It's such a shame. I notice in Clissold Park they put in new equipment by the same company and then a community campaign managed to get them to rip it out and replace with better wooden stuff! So you never know!
