Work to improve The Ham play park is now complete, Sidmouth Town Council has announced.

The upgrade had been delayed, but the park is now open and ready for use.

A Sidmouth Town Council spokesperson said: "Sidmouth Town Council is delighted to update children and families that the renewed Ham play park is now open and children can start to enjoy the eagerly awaited new equipment.

"The new equipment features include a zip wire, climbing wall, slides, swings, trampoline, boat activity centres and sand pit with some hidden 'fossils' to discover.

"The park has been reconfigured with a porous natural gravel pathway which winds its way through from one end to the other and incorporates extra seating areas including an area with sunshade.

"The design is unique and bespoke to Sidmouth reflecting the coast and seaside setting and even has a piece of Sidmouth fishing history represented.

"New signage will soon be in place and planting will be added as finishing touches to what is a fresh new design which takes account of different types of play and ensures a better flow and sight lines."

Long Park, also in Sidmouth, reopened in September last year.
