New playgrounds open in time for Easter

The playgrounds at Parade Gardens are designed to be inclusive, said the parish

A new playground and an older one that was shut for refurbishment work in Jersey have opened.

The Parish of St Helier said the new playground at Parade Gardens catered for children up to the age of six, while the refurbished one was for children aged seven and above.

The parish said both spaces were designed to be inclusive and offered children of all abilities and ages the opportunity to play.

Constable Simon Crowcroft said: "Whilst we have planned a formal opening of our new parks in early May, I am delighted that our new play spaces are available for children and young people to enjoy ahead of schedule and for the remainder of the Easter break."
