BRIDGEWATER - GENERATIONS ACTIVE PARK PLAY AREA Survey

A Design Build contract has been awarded to build an inclusive playground and splashpad at Generations Active Play Area. Your feedback will help shape the new park features by gathering your ideas and preferences. This quick survey (only takes 5 minutes!) gives you a chance to tell us what you'd like to see – we look forward to hearing from everyone!

About this Project
