The Mayor of Dawlish officially opened the town's new Manor Gardens play park and children's trail on the Lawn on Saturday (4 March).

Work on the £320k project, which was funded by both Dawlish Town Council and Teignbridge District Council, began in November.

The play park was vandalised last month shortly after being completed.

It features a see-saw, slide, picnic benches, swings, and also black-swan themed 'rockers' and coastal-themed apparatus including a model train.

Mayor of Dawlish Cllr Lisa Mayne said: "I think they've done an absolutely amazing job, they've worked really, really hard at getting this up and running.

"I'm blown away by it. I think it's absolutely fantastic."
