Cllr Anthony Rowlands, portfolio holder for leisure said: “It’s about time that this popular, flagship park had a new, first class playground that will be enjoyed by young children and their parents for many years to come. “It is being built on the site of the old playground which will be closed while it is dismantled while the new one is built in its place. I’m sure park visitors will put up with this inconvenience for a few weeks while they wait for the new attraction to open. “The new Verulamium play area has been a raging success and I have had nothing but positive feedback. I am confident this will be the case with the Clarence Park project, too.”
