New team swing installed at Maurice Thornton Playground, Hailsham

A new team swing has been installed at the Maurice Thornton Playing Field children's play area, part of the Town Council's project to improve and upgrade many of its playgrounds across the town.

With the success of the upgraded play area in Western Road last year, the Town Council took the opportunity to bring other play areas, those located in Stroma Gardens, Battle Road and on the Maurice Thornton Playing Field up to optimum standard, delivering exciting upgrades to play equipment and offering excellent play value for all users.

The upgrade to the Maurice Thornton Playing Field play area involved the installation of a 30-metre aerial zipwire, replacement of the broken inclusive roundabout and complete overlaying of the wet-pour in this area.

At the Stroma Gardens playground, new pieces of toddler equipment have recently been installed, in addition to the removal of the large slide and replacement with a toddler multi-play unit. A 4-person springy seesaw and inclusive toddler springy have also be installed on the site.
