Victoria Park Play Area - Your Views Sought

Exciting ideas are being sought for an innovative, creative and challenging new play area for Victoria Park in Deal – and a special consultation event is being held at the play area in the park on Thursday 18 March from 3pm-5pm to hear your views.

A series of consultation events starts this week to find out exactly what people want to see at the popular play area. This includes a range of consultations with local children and young people, in addition to the wider community consultation event on 18 March.  

Consultation is being carried out by the Kent Children’s Fund Network on behalf of Dover District Council.  The new play area has funding confirmed from Dover District Council and Deal Town Council, as well as funding from planning agreements for the area.  Further consultation is planned for July to feedback design proposals.

The new-look play area is due to be completed in the autumn.  This follows the launch of innovative new play areas at Connaught Park, Pencester Gardens and Marke Wood. The refurbishment of this strategic play area is in keeping with the Dover District Play Strategy and DDC’s commitment to develop strategic play areas across the district.

In the event of wet weather, the consultation event on the Victoria Park play area will be held at Tides Leisure Centre from 3-5pm. For more information, please contact DDC on (01304) 872448 or the Kent Children’s Fund Network on 01233 632957.
