Tuesday, 4 November 2025 18:55

A Ramsey commissioner's asking the public for ideas on how a children's playground could be improved.

Elizabeth Shimmin posted on social media saying Mooragh Park's play equipment looks outdated and out of touch compared to examples in the UK.

She's asking what kind of things your children would like to see included, or any impressive parks which could be used as inspiration.

Ms Shimmin adds people can share pictures with her for any ideas they might have for what she's calling the Island's biggest park.
