Upgrade for Esplanade Playground

To reduce the number of face-to-face interactions with the community and protect our staff and their ability to carry out ongoing essential services, the Derwent Valley Council Offices are open to the public from 10am - 4pm from Monday 24 August for essential visits only.

Council operating hours are still 8.15am – 5pm (Mon - Fri) and Council services can be accessed over the phone, by email or via our website. We encourage all enquiries by phone or email where possible.

The next stage of the Esplanade Revitalisation Project will commence shortly with an all-abilities playground upgrade and new BBQ facilities being constructed.

The upgrade will include installation of rubberised soft-fall under the existing equipment to provide greater access to play equipment for younger children, some new sensory play areas, all access pebble creek bridge crossing and a water pump and trough play area.

The existing playground will be closed for 4 to 5 weeks while the works are carried out. The toilets will remain open, as will the BBQ facilities near the pool. Playgrounds at nearby Tynwald park will remain open.
