Porton Recreation Ground

Tender for the renovation of Porton Play Park. Idmiston Parish Council (IPC) wish to invite tenders for the renovation/replacement of the play equipment at Porton Recreation Ground.

General Overview: Idmiston Parish Council seek contractor proposals for the complete renovation/replacement of the in-situ fenced 'toddler' play area and the replacement/addition of other play items within the boundary of the recreation ground.

The desired solution will see the extension of the footprint of the existing toddler play area out in a South Westerly direction. The final gross size of the extension SW will depend on the contractor's balance of cost for the ground works vs the purchase of equipment to fill the newly extended area. IPCs desire is for a play area that is suitable for age range toddler through to ~early teens.
