The park opposite Co-op in Bedwas is a well-used community space for local children, families and young people. However, the current park could be improved to make it more accessible, inclusive, exciting and suitable for a wider range of ages.

We are asking Bedwas, Trethomas and Machen Community Council and Caerphilly County Borough Council to explore options to redevelop and improve the park, including possible funding through Community Infrastructure Levy funding, play area improvement funding, inclusive play funding, grants or partnership funding.

We would like the park to include:

Accessible paths around and through the park
Inclusive play equipment for children with additional needs
Swings for younger and older children
A larger slide
A zip line
More climbing and balancing equipment
A role-play area for younger children
Seating for older children and teenagers
Seating for parents in both shaded and sunny areas
Better bins, landscaping and general upkeep
This park has real potential to become a safer, more welcoming and more enjoyable space for the whole community.

Please sign this petition to show your support for improving the park opposite Co-op in Bedwas and to ask local representatives to make this a priority.
