Description
Milton Keynes City Council is seeking a supplier for the improvement of the existing local play area at Hanslope Recreation Ground.
The site is located at the play area within Hanslope Recreation Ground, Hanslope, Milton Keynes. The play area forms part of one of the district鈥檚 key green spaces and is well integrated within the wider recreational setting.
The site is bordered to the north and northwest by residential properties, with Castlethorpe Road beyond, and to the east by residential properties adjacent to St James Close. To the south are the wider Hanslope Recreation Ground, community centre, outdoor gym, Hanslope cricket club and sports field, and the Hanslope Multi-Use Games Area (MUGA).
The project involves improvements to the existing local play area as part of the Council鈥檚 city-wide play area refurbishment programme. The proposed works include remedial landscaping, resurfacing, and upgrades to existing play equipment.
The site will benefit from upgraded pedestrian routes and seating areas, enhancing safety and accessibility and supporting use by families and the wider community.
