Work completed on play parks at Porthcressa on St Mary’s and at the Community Centre on Bryher

We are very pleased to announce that the work to repair and improve the play parks at Porthcressa on St Mary’s, and at the Community Centre on Bryher, has been completed. Both parks have been reopened, and we encourage everyone to spread the word and pay a visit to see the improvements for themselves!

Thank you to South West Play Ltd for getting the work done on schedule and with such professionalism, and a huge thanks to all of the local contractors who provided assistance.

We appreciate the patience and understanding play park users have shown while the play equipment was unavailable for safety reasons.  We hope you have lots of fun now the gates are open again!
