Whittle Street Play Area proposed refurbishment
Salford City Council is asking for your thoughts on the proposed refurbishment of the children's play area. You can give your views by completing the questionnaire below.
Questionnaire for refurbishment of the children's play equipment at Whittle Street Play Area
The deadline to complete the questionnaire is 12 June 2026.
The new play equipment will be placed within the footprint of the current fenced play area and offers a range of play opportunities for children of different ages and abilities to play together. The majority of the existing play equipment and outdoor gym will be removed with the exception of the tyre swing, trail equipment and basketball/football goal. In line with ROSPA requirements the spiked, metal railings will be replaced with a mesh style fence and the footpaths leading to the play area re-surfaced to allow easier access for prams, buggies and wheelchair users. New equipment will include a supernova roundabout, rope-end swing, new swings complete with seats suitable for toddlers, young and disabled children, a new slide, springies, a new see-saw, an accessible roundabout and a new toddler activity unit. The existing basketball/football goal will be upgraded and new mini-football goals provided.
