Pen y Cymoedd is pleased to be supporting Clyne and Melincourt Community Council with £25,895 towards an upgrade of Bryn Golwg Play Area, building on previous improvements funded through our Micro Fund in 2019.
The aim of the project is to create a safe, inclusive, and engaging outdoor space for children, young people, and families of all ages and abilities within the community.
Following a house-to-house survey and community consultation events, key features of the improvements include:
• A new multi-play unit
• Spinning bowl roundabout
• Inclusive see-saw and face-to-face swing
• Multi-sports goal end
These improvements reflect the community’s desire for greater variety and inclusivity in local play provision
The project is being led by Clyne and Melincourt Community Council, with delivery support from Neath Port Talbot’s Project Development and Funding Unit.
