In 2022, CityCoast Care led a project to refurbish the playground at Hill Park School in Portslade. Hill Park is one of the largest special needs school in Brighton & Hove and caters to children with moderate, severe and profound disabilities.
The old playground contained broken equipment, empty garden beds and lots of under-utilised space. There was no piece of working equipment that students in wheelchairs could use. In August of 2022, we gave the playground a much needed makeover with new equipment, safety surfacing, planting, painting and learning areas. The staff are pleased, the students are excited, and we feel privileged to be able to have made such a difference in the lives of families in our city.
