Hello,
 
North Hertfordshire Council has asked Groundwork East to refurbish the Smithson Play Area, by Grays Lane, Hitchin. We would like your input to ensure we provide new spaces and equipment which will benefit and reflect the local community.
 
Following on from the consultation in June we have undertaken a sketch design which reflects the comments we received.
 
This design is not final and will evolve following your input.
 
The overall goals:
 
1. Increase areas of soft surfacing to increase biodiversity, reduce temperatures by removing heat absorbing tarmac and create natural areas to play in.
2. Create more accessible routes and play features for a wider age range of  children.
3. Places to sit and talk for parents and carers.
