We are thrilled to have just announced at Christmas in the Square, that the main play park near Swallow Lane will soon undergo a complete transformation. The existing park will be replaced with a new modern jungle-themed play park, designed to provide fun and adventure for children aged 18 months to 14 years.

The new play park will feature:
• All-weather surface area for year-round play
• Two play towers – one for younger children and one for older children
• Adventure trail to promote balance, climbing, and agility skills
• Swing set - a toddler, junior and team swing, suitable for all children
• Sensory activities to ensure accessibility for all
• Seating and integrated coat hooks for parents and carers to make everyone’s life a little easier.

The jungle theme will include stunning palm tree features and animal designs, creating a vibrant and imaginative environment for families, as well as promoting biodiversity awareness from an early age.

This upgrade reflects Coldharbour Parish Council’s commitment to improving every park we manage, following other recent enhancements across the area such as the Fitness Park on Brimmers Way.

The current Swallow Lane play park will close soon to allow work to begin, with the grand opening of the new park scheduled for Spring 2026.

Yesterday, long serving former cllr for Aylesbury West, Cllr Steven Lambert, received an Honorary Alderman Award from Buckinghamshire Council. This was in recognition of his 20 years service to Aylesbury West and Aylesbury as a whole.

We want to take the opportunity to say Thank You to Steven for everything he has done for our community for the past 20 years and did not want this to go unnoticed, as you have been an example for many exemplary councillors who have followed in your community focused approach.

We would also like to say thank you and congratulations to our former Lib Dem colleague Peter Cooper. A true community champion.
