Paignton Park Playground Refurb Delay - Statement from Haringey Council

"We're very sorry that work at Paignton Park playground had to be temporarily paused due to an unexpected ground condition issue. You may have seen the posters we put up to keep local residents informed.

"To ensure the site could be worked on safely, the council requested a specialist assessment of the ground. Unfortunately, the assessment process was delayed, which meant we received the recommendations later than expected.

"We now have the clarity needed to proceed safely. However, because the contractor had to be allocated to another project during the pause, they will only be able to return in late April to complete the remaining works.

"This isn't the outcome we hoped for, but the delay was caused by circumstances that couldn't reasonably have been foreseen or prevented. We apologise for the inconvenience to residents and appreciate your patience while we wait for the contractor to return.

"The new playground reopening is currently scheduled for 22/05/2026."
