About the site
Cemetery Walk play area is located within the Almondbury ward of Kirklees. It is a well-used community space with its large open greenspace and play area and a Multi-Use Games Area (MUGA). This site has been chosen as the first site within the ward to be reviewed under the Playable Spaces programme. It was chosen due to its age, and it being one of the oldest play areas within Almondbury.
Cemetery Walk play area, AlmondburyProject overview
An initial design was developed in conjunction with local councillors. The design aims to make the play provision on site more appealing and accessible to all users by using a variety of play features and increasing biodiversity and the sensory experience within the site. The scheme proposes to enhance the existing play area with upgraded play surfacing and repairs to existing play equipment. Additional play features will also be introduced outside of the existing fenced play area to encourage broader use of the site as a whole.
The main design features are:
- Upgraded play surfacing
- A new large timber climbing unit
- An inclusive basket swing
- A new 5-a-side goal end
- A new sculptural feature seating
- Efforts to improve biodiversity within the area through native bulb and tree planting
