VIDEO: South Cliff Playground Now Open As Work Nears Completion

The first families have been using Scarborough's newest playground, built on slopes close to the Clock Cafe.

After much anticipation, the playground is now open and features several castle-like wooden structures, slides, rope climbs, a sand pit and more.

On Saturday 19th November there's a "Meet The Makers" event between 11am and 2pm where the public can meet and chat to those involved in its creation.

New toilet facilties close by aren't open yet but will be imminently.

There are also new picnic benches with access for wheelchairs and prams.

Millions of pounds has been spent refurbishing the South Cliff Gardens to return them to their former glory.

Recently, the tunnel which goes under the Spa Cliff Lift reopened after many, many decades closed. The cliff lift itself has also reopened after some long-overdue repair work and the new Beeforth Hive facility has now been handed over to the Head Gardener.

Situated next to the Rose Gardens, the Hive will be the new operations centre for the gardens but also a space for community use too.

Work continues elsewhere in the gardens, including on the Clock Tower on the Esplanade and on various paths.
