We've opened a new play park in Meadow Way, Leighton Buzzard

The latest news from Central Bedfordshire Council

It's part of our ongoing estate improvement programme.

We have opened a new play park in Meadow Way, Leighton Buzzard, providing a new exciting outdoor experience for children between 6 and 16 years old.  

At the beginning of April, our housing service proudly opened a new state-of-the-art play park and a brand-new basketball hoop, ensuring families in the neighbourhood have plenty of fun options for outdoor activities. 

The new equipment in the play park includes a roundabout, a multi-play unit with a slide and a climbing wall and is suitable for all abilities and individual confidence levels. 

An existing play park, hidden between houses towards the back of the estate, has been removed, with the new park on the Green in the middle of the estate. New pathways have been created so it’s easy for families to get to the park, which is now more visible. 

The new park is part of a series of estate improvements our housing service has made to the Meadow Way estate. These include extensive tree works, maintaining the health of the trees in the area, installing planters outside the community centre, and working with Community Payback to clear pathways and alleyways. 

Our Tenancy Involvement and Engagement team have also held a number of drop-in sessions on the estate to help tenants with housing matters and signpost to support.
