Palmerston Play Area Refurbishment

The Vale of Glamorgan Council requires works to upgrade Palmerston Play Area in Gibbonsdown, Barry. The Council has secured Funding from the ‘All Wales Play opportunities Grant 2025-26. Capital grant for play spaces and playgrounds’. Tenders are sought from experienced contractors to design and implement works to upgrade the existing play area, which is in poor condition. The existing play area is set within Parks land adjacent to an existing MUGA. The site currently comprises of swings, a roundabout, a springy animal and a climbing unit. The area is well used by children from Palmerston Primary School. After consultancy exercises with the school, it was noted that the children would like accessible play equipment. The site itself can suffer from ground water flooding in low lying areas, so it will be necessary for all equipment to be installed at a similar or higher level than the adjacent pathway. There is one area in particular that floods and is highlighted in the attached appendices. Ideally the play equipment is to be grouped together so that it can be accessed from the pathways and from item to item. If the new area of surfacing for the new play equipment is greater than 100m2 over and above the existing surfacing, SUDS approval will be required. We require the contractor to suggest proposed drainage; the client will apply for the SUDS necessary. Items of equipment should not be above 4ms high. If this is the case Planning permission will not be required. Tenders are sought from experienced contractors to design and implement works to upgrade the play area. The scope of the work s includes the following activities: - • Design of new play area. • Removal of existing play equipment, surfacing and site furniture. (See Appendices). • Supply and installation of new play equipment, surfacing, site furniture and any other works to complete the approved scheme. • Provide access track for vehicles to the site to stop damage to fields. (As necessary, See Appendices). • Be free draining if possible and comply with SAB legislation if applicable • Reinstatement of site as necessary. All works must be undertaken in accordance with the Council’s brief and drawing supplied and approved by the Contractor.

It will enable children to play in different ways and allow them to stretch and challenge themselves. Key objectives of the Tender are: To provide a vibrant, colourful play space with a wide range of equipment for the local residents in the area. Designs should be innovative and consider how equipment/play structures for different ages can be zoned to allow play equipment for toddlers as well as equipment aimed at primary and junior school age. Designs should be fun, creative and imaginative with equipment that promotes healthy activity, incorporates risk and challenge and promotes inclusiveness. Designs should make the best use of the space available with adequate space for Minimum Use Zones and allow sufficient space outside the fenced play area for seating/picnic tables. Seating provision will need to also be considered as part of the scope of this contract.
