Thornbury Town Council is delighted to announce that refurbishment works at Streamleaze Play Area are due to begin week commencing 7th September 2026. The improvements will give the popular play area a fresh new lease of life, with around two thirds of the existing play equipment being replaced with new equipment. The play area will be temporarily cordoned off for around four weeks while the works take place, and we thank local families for their patience while the improvements are carried out.
The refurbishment follows a public consultation with local residents, which included a vote on options for some of the new pieces of equipment. The final design reflects the views received, incorporating the most popular equipment choices alongside improvements to the wider play space. While this is a refurbishment rather than a completely new play area, the changes will make a significant difference and provide lots of exciting new opportunities for children to play, explore and have fun.
The artist’s impression gives a good indication of what the transformed play area will look like. The public consultation did tell us that it was important to keep a baby swing in the play area, so that’s one important change we are making to the original design.
The Town Council is really pleased to be able to deliver these improvements and looks forward to seeing the refurbished play area taking shape. We hope local children and families will be delighted with the results and, once the work is complete, enjoy the new equipment and the refreshed play space for many years to come.
