The park is in a terrible state since it is not even a year old. It cannot be used the majority of the year due to extremely poor ground work that is flooded or extremely muddy. Can only use it sometimes after it has been dry for a long period of time.

The park really needs to be a safe enclosed area for children to play - with safe soft surface and railings around, such as the parks at Emersons Green and Westons Hill Drive. My 2 year old loves going to those parks but is scared in our own park at Lyde Green as dogs are allowed to wander around as no fences. This also means the hazard of falling over into dog poo - not safe in a children's play area. The play area needs to be enclosed.

The surface around some pieces of the equipment is totally unsafe and both my children have had falls after slipping on the mud.

Way to muddy for kids to play on . Where so many children in Lyde green ,need more fun things for kids to do .More bins

The park has been put together on a very cheap budget and poor quality equipment and surfaces are a danger when wet.

If this park (If you can call it that) is meant to encourage the youth of today to venture outdoors and enjoy themselves.. then no wonder people by their children PlayStations.. shocking

We pay the green square and everyone is blaming each other. Time for someone to take responsibility.

Think the park isnt well done or thought out. We loved the idea of the park. But sadly don't /can't got their any more unless you want to walk through mud or dirty puddle. And when you got wheelchair and pushchairs it hard. End up getting covers or can't even get to some equipment. So as family of 5 and some of are friends don't use it any more. Plus with no fence around you get dogs in their. Be nice to see more play stuff for 2 and up

I strongly agree that safe surfacing and disabled equipment is needed. I would also like to see sensory equipment or sensory garden within the play space as this is so important for any child's development

The ground n the park s often waterlogged and the lack of adequate cushioned surfaces under the equipment makes them -hazardous, as there is no protection in the case of a fall

We love to use the park but it’s in such a state. I am surprised to see the petition as we pay for this services.

This park was finished and opened recently, but is way less adequate in terms of safety and playability than the nearest one which is in Emersons Green.

I love the park but some equipment is unusable when it has rained due to the muddy puddles.

The park has been finished to a poor standard and the area is not fenced to protect children from dogs and dogs mess!
