AN ADVENTURE play park is to be built at Fambridge Yacht Haven for visitors to the marina.

Children of boat owners and the public alike will be able to experience a brand new facility.

The playground will include a range of equipment and apparatus for children aged from 3 to the age of 16.  There is a nautical theme to the new park with children able to sail a ship and perch in a crow’s nest.

Built by school playground design firm Schoolscapes Ltd, the new playground will overlook the River Crouch and the farmland around Fambridge Yacht Haven, next to the popular West Wick Tearoom.

Marina manager Danyal Adams said the new construction is designed to widen the appeal of the marina and the village: “We want to make Fambridge Yacht Haven a great destination for boaters and visitors of all generations. We already have a wide range of facilities here including bike hire, a café and the Ferry Boat Inn pub, but we want to attract the younger generation to start enjoying the marina surroundings.”

The play park will open next spring.
