Norwich’s St Georges Street play park, opposite the Playhouse, is to undergo £80,000 works to upgrade it, with designers coming up with three plans for the area.
In the first plan, a pirate ship is proposed alongside a 3D shark and climbing frame with an ocean theme.

The second is an insect and nature-themed play area with interactive surfacing and performer-themed equipment, featuring a large climbing dome.
While the third is a sea life-themed play area featuring a two-tower boat-themed “multi-play unit”.

The first consultation on the area run by the city council saw 400 people take part with 56pc voting for an urban play park over redesigning the traditional play area currently in use.
A Norwich City Council spokesman said: “We were really pleased to receive detailed feedback from so many users of St Georges play area, which has helped to shape these final three designs.
“We’d now like as many people as possible to head to our Get Talking Norwich website and choose between these three final designs so we can upgrade this well-used city centre playground, making it a really exciting place for children to enjoy.”
The investment has previously been welcomed by Green Party city councillor Jamie Osborn, who said he was pleased to see investment in the well-used site.

He said: “This is a well-used play area and one of the few green spaces in the north city centre.
“It’s good to see investment in maintaining and improving it.”
It comes after parents called for more disability-friendly play parks in the city after they struggled to find areas suitable for their child. There has been no talk of disability-friendly equipment in the new plans.
