The current state of Builth Wells Childrens playarea situated in the Groe is completley unacceptable. It is in need of a major overhaul so that it is a place that parents actually want to tanke their children. Currently the grass has not been cut for months resulting in the height being over most childrens shoes/wellies. The helter skelter is vandallised not to mention dirty and ends in a big mud puddle making it useless. There are broken rides and the general state is in need of a major change. Dog mess has also had to be removed from the area on numerous occasions. It is obviously designed to only be a hot summers day park. Added to this when you compare it Llandrindod Wells lakeside park and also Llanelwedd's crescent park it is even more disgraceful that Builth should have such a bad playarea.

I purpose that the park be redisgned creating an all weather surface that is safe for children and an update of the rides enclosed to create a safe and usable playarea for the residents of Builth Wells.

Please show your support so we can make a change .

Needs proper surfacing instead of this grass that never gets cut. Waste of space right now.

Totally agree. Cant even take my toddler there without worrying about him tripping over rusted metal. Ridiculous.
