A mown grass area with timber play equipment: log balance beams, a rope traverse strung between posts and hanging rope swings, in front of a chain-link fence with the railway's overhead line masts and a red-brick office block behind
The play area from the grass, looking towards the railway, September 2026.

An open lawn with a run of timber equipment along the railway fence: log balance beams, a rope traverse between posts and hanging rope swings, the trim-trail kind rather than swings and slides. The East Coast Main Line’s overhead wires are directly behind the fence. Who maintains it — the council or one of the blocks’ management companies — is not yet recorded; the answer decides who to report broken equipment to.
