Monmouthshire County Council is pleased to report that work to upgrade two play parks in Chepstow has been completed.

The play parks at Western Avenue and Piggy’s Hill have been redeveloped to support a range of ages.

To ensure the new designs reflect the needs of local families, engagement was carried out with parents and children through online surveys – via Let’s Talk Monmouthshire – and direct consultation during the Food and Fun summer programme.

The response was encouraging, with input received from a wide range of age groups.

As a result of this collaborative effort, we are excited to include features such as the supply and installation of the net jumper at Western Avenue, made possible through additional funding from Chepstow Town Council.

At the play park at Piggy’s Hill, Chepstow Town Council provided additional funding to secure a slide unity climber.

These enhancements reflect our commitment to listening to the community and delivering inclusive, engaging spaces for children of all abilities.

The project has been funded by Welsh Government All Wales Play opportunists capital funding with additional funding from Chepstow Town Council.

Monmouthshire County Council Cabinet Member for Equalities and Engagement, Cllr Angela Sandles, said: “It is wonderful to see the play parks in Chepstow given a new lease of life.

“I cannot wait to hear how much the children enjoy them.

“Hopefully, the play parks will help the children of Chepstow and beyond to play and stay active for years to come.”
