Warminster Town Council has strengthened its commitment to maintaining and investing in its assets, by approving funding for new play park equipment.
Council officers carried out a detailed review of all play areas and highlighted the need to replace a play area gate and climber at Queensway and replace the blue tyre swing in the Lake Pleasure Grounds.
Officers explored ideas and gathered quotes for the upcoming play area project, receiving interest from four specialist companies. Site meetings took place in October 2024, with three companies submitting formal proposals.

Following discussion at the Parks and Estate Committee meeting on Monday 27th January, members approved the tender application from Kompan with the capital expenditure of £34,302 to be funded from the Earmarked Reserves Capital Projects.
Kompan will now install a new under 5s climber and play area gate for Queensway and a Spacenet climber for the Lake Pleasure Grounds.
Cllr Jack Jones said:
Investing in high-quality play equipment isn’t just about fun—it’s about fostering healthier, happier, and more connected communities.
It shows that the town council values its young residents, ensuring they have safe spaces to grow, develop, and thrive. In turn, this enhances the town’s reputation and quality of life for all residents.”
In April 2024, Warminster Town Council previously opened brand-new play park equipment in Warminster Lake Pleasure Grounds following significant investment.
