Teignmouth’s flagship play park is to close for one day on Friday (December 12) to enable repairs to take place.

The work will see the safety surfacing in the Den play park being replaced.

Teignbridge District Council said it hopes to reopen the play park as soon as possible. However, a spokesperson from Teignbridge warned, ‘completing the work will be dictated by weather conditions on the day’.

The Den play area was comprehensively refurbished three years ago. The six-week project saw the installation of sensory and inclusive equipment for children aged between two and 12 years old to encourage play and social activity, investigation, problem solving and more.
