Work is continuing on a play area upgrade project in Brooke Park, Derry/L'Derry.

Contractors Allplay Ireland completed the installation of new wheelchair friendly play equipment at the site in December.

However, the weather dependent installation of supporting infrastructure around the site cannot be completed until March 2018.

Other works at the site have included various repairs and the reopening of the pedestrian gate next to Marlborough Road.

Parks Development Manager Colin Kennedy said: "The assembly and installation of the new play equipment is now complete and the wheelchair friendly play area will be open to the public in the Spring once the new turf is established within the play area.

"The ground works are weather depended but will be completed as soon as is possible to allow the public to access the new equipment.

"The area includes a wheelchair friendly swing, a wheelchair see-saw and carousel and a hexagonal rocking plate and will allow more young people to avail of the state of the art play facilities in the park."
