TWO parks in Pentwyn and Llanedeyrn have lost out on funding for new play equipment and will not be able to reapply until 2022.
\nParc Waun Fach, Pentwyn and Glenwood park,\u00a0Llanedeyrn, were not selected to receive funding under the Neighbourhood Renewal Scheme.
\nLiberal Democrat Councillor Dan Naughton said: “This a huge setback and feels like our community has been let down by the council again. These are our two oldest playgrounds and some of the equipment is in desperate need of replacing.
\n“This is a disappointment but we will keep looking for different sources of funding to replace this old equipment.”
\nThe Neighbourhood Renewal Scheme does regeneration projects all over the city including new parks, street improvements and community safety improvements.
\nNeither park was approved to be one of the 10 chosen for funding which was met with disappointment as part of Pentwyn is in the top 10 per cent of the most deprived areas in Cardiff.
\nLocal councillors had asked for new play equipment for both projects and a community garden to be installed in Glenwood Park.
\nZoe Hill, who lives in Pennsylvania Estate, was in Glenwood Park adjacent to Glenwood Church, this morning with her two year old.
\nShe said: “There is a lot of stuff in here that he cannot use. If he wants to go up the slide he would fall through the back of it. There needs to be other sizes of equipment.”
