New play facilities for Rowner families

Newly improved play facilities are now open for Gosport families to enjoy.

The Rowner Copse Play Area has just been refurbished thanks to £30,000 funding from Gosport Borough Council.

New play equipment has been added for little adventurers of varying ages to safely climb, slide and explore.

Other improvements include repairs to the tarmac surface, and improvements to the entrance and fencing.

The play park also offers a basket swing, small skate park and games area to keep children entertained. It's located next to an open playing field and woodland area.

Rowner is the second play park to undergo recent improvement work, after Bridgemary Park Play Area was fully refurbished earlier this year.

Gosport Borough Council Leader Cllr Peter Chegwyn said: "Encouraging children to be outside enjoying themselves, socialising and keeping fit is so important. That's why are continuing to invest in maintaining and improving our play facilities like Rowner and Bridgemary."
