New playground in Buryfields?
New playground in Buryfields?
Do we really need another playground only about 200 metres from the one in the Priory grounds? Is this the best use of council funds?

I tweeted Ware Town Council to ask about it, reply was; the Buryfields will be mainly aimed at toddlers, the Priory remains as normal.
Quite looking forward to taking my little one there, enjoying watching it come together as I regularly pass by.

Having two toddling granddaughters another play area will be most welcome - any good excuse to have children playing outside gets my vote, especially if it's toddler friendly - giving them the opportunity to learn and achieve in a safe environment, but I hope they don't take too long to commission it. The new one by Lady Margaret Gardens has been waiting for final inspection for a very long time.
Also you should bear in mind that the less roads parents and toddlers have to cross to get to a playground reduces the risk of accidents - so no I don't think we can have too many playgrounds.

An interesting development. The Buryfields always feels a little unused and unloved, compared with the Priory, which is always well used.
Hopefully this might get the Buryfields a bit better used. And more play facilities will always be well received by the users.

I haven't lived in Ware for over 40 years so naming conventions may have changed and become fixed but (and I apologise for going off topic) Buryfield was long ago built on by Allen & Hanbury's. The area occupied by Ware FC (before Glaxo built their car park) and the adjoining open land was called the Recreation Ground.

I saw this yesterday. I always thought it was quite nice to have a field with 'nothing' on it but having two young kids myself I can appreciate some of the other views.

The Buryfields equipment looks very like the mix of equipment in the Priory. The Priory skews slightly older but there are swings and a slide in the Buryfields that are bigger than toddler equipment. It's good to see the Council livening things up for kids.

I see that the play equipment along Lady Margaret Gardens is till awaiting final inspection. This must be several months since the signs went up.
