Rusty, old play equipment lying in a corner of a central suburban park is the cause of ire for several parents and guardians who are concerned that the equipment will cause injuries to children as it lies stashed in a corner but is not concealed.
Several children are even playing on the dilapidated equipment, discarded on to the side because of the park renovation. A report here stated that the revamp has been stalled for some reason and since a fortnight the equipment has been lying inside the park. Rusting iron can cause injuries and parents are concerned, with one saying she is not allowing her child to play unsupervised inside the park.
