Committees - Leisure & Amenities

Leisure & Amenities

The Leisure & Amenities Committee is responsible for the maintenance and management of Penzance Council assets.

These assets range from open spaces and public toilets to buildings owned or managed by the Council, and the delivery of key public services across the whole parish.

Whilst the work of the Committee is varied and challenging, the Leisure and Amenities Committee has a direct ability to positively influence and affect the “public facing” responsibilities of Penzance Council.

Major projects this year:

� Christmas Light display and tree in town

� Promenade and Town Banner/Flag Projects

� Introducing electric Council vehicles

� New accessible junior play equipment at Penlee Play Park

Penlee Play Park -Brand new Junior Section

The work on our brand new junior play equipment was completed in September 2022. The new inclusive play equipment, which is accessible to children who are wheelchair users or who use other mobility aids, has proved incredibly popular, and the park has been very well used since the equipment was installed.

The new equipment includes:

� 5 new towers

� Climbing walls

� Wheelchair accessible slide

� Sensory Panels

� Net bridge

� Clatter bridge

We have also installed two additional picnic benches following requests for more seating from parents and park users!

The new play park builds on similar active play that we introduced during the refurbishment of Alexandra Play Park, whilst also aiming to provide a distinctly different play space.
