New Batman-themed play area vandalised
Date published: 12 December 2013
Batman themed play area at Balderstone Park for 4 to 11 year olds
The new Batman-themed play area for young children at Balderstone Park has been vandalised just a few weeks after it opened.
Pat Colclough, Chairwoman of the Friends of Balderstone Park, which had spent seven years helping to raise funds for the play area, said the news of the vandalism was devastating.
“The play area had only just been completed and most of the equipment has been vandalised. These mindless vandals are ruining it for the local children who have been looking forward to getting this much needed play area,” she added.
“It is a great shame that the mindless acts of a small minority spoil things for everyone else.”
The playground is decorated with a variety of batman and batgirl graphics and includes a special springy safety surface, two slides, a climbing board, batmobile and joker cars on springs and climbing ropes.
