Adastra Park Play Areas – Important Information

Hassocks Parish Council has worked hard to complete the play area improvements within Adastra Park and to put in place the Government guidance measures to open its play areas. It is anticipated they will be open  on or around the 6^th August subject to the final safety inspections being concluded but will remain closed until this time.

The new play areas will have been safety inspected ahead of their opening, but we cannot guarantee that their hard surfaces will be coronavirus-free.

To allow everyone to enjoy the new play areas as safely as possible, the Council strongly advises that all reasonable precautions are taken to ensure the safety of yourself, your family and other users by following the guidelines below. These rules are in addition to the normal rules of the play area.
