A new farmyard-themed playground has opened for young children in Ipswich, inspired by the farming history of the land, as part of a wave of park renovations.
Plans for Alexandra Park were revealed in the New Year, an inclusive play area for children aged two to 12, complete with a tractor and haybarn.

Councillor Phil Smart, portfolio holder for parks at Ipswich Borough Council, said the renovation of so many town parks was prompted by the number of homes in Ipswich in council tax band A or B properties likely to have only a small outdoors space or no garden at all.
