Jersey's government has submitted plans for a new-look Millennium Park in St Helier.

The Infrastructure Department say the site will have "accessible and inclusive playground equipment" - with one area for toddlers and another for older children.

It adds: "The existing equipment has reached the end of its serviceable lifespan with the equipment showing signs of age and needs replacing in line with current playground equipment standards."

An audit also references that the existing playground does not include "inclusive play equipment".

Among the familiar sight of slides and swings, the plans also include multiple trampolines, a roundabout and 'shade structures' for those sitting down.

It is hoped the new playground will open before summer 2025.
