The hope is that equipment for all ages could be in situ by Christmas following the procurement process..
Plans, pictured below, include a new junior multi-unit, a new toddler multi-unit, cradle and flat seat swing seats fitted to a double bay swing set, a multi child Seesaw, springer and two ‘spinners’ along with rubber safer surfacing .

Bitterne Park ward councillor Amanda Barnes-Andrews said: “Your Labour councillors have been lobbying for these improvements for some months and we are delighted to see that the Steuart Road play park will be completely refurbished, and soon. It’s great news for the families of Bitterne Manor.
“We look forward to seeing children and young people enjoying the new play equipment before Christmas.”
We reported on the playground in June 2023 when former ward councillor Tony Bunday said funding had been secured towards the refurbishment.
