The new gym equipment must be predominantly metal in construction and be sturdy enough for unsupervised use in an open park setting that is known for vandalism.

The wording and artwork will be provided by the Council. This sign will be in addition to any information sign proposed by the contractor in connection with the individual gym equipment.
The Contractor shall arrange and pay for a RoSPA / RPI inspection and report to be handed to LBH at the end of the construction.
Full reinstatement of the grassed areas will have to be carried out, as well as any repairs to damage caused, upon completion.
