New National Award for Teignmouth

Hot off the heels of its recent Green Flag success, Teignmouth Den has scooped a ‘Commended’ prize in this year’s Local Government Network Street Design Awards.

The Den won the award in the 'Children's Play' category, placing the play park, Adventure Golf, Multi-Use Games Area and open space as one of the best designed resorts in the country. It is the latest in a line of awards for the Den, which has also won a Green Flag Award and a Highly Commended in the ILAM Best Playground 2005 Competition.

The awards follow £1M of investment by Teignbridge Council over the past few years, which has seen the first example of wet play facilities in Teignbridge, a state-of-the-art Adventure Golf course, and a multi-use games area which enables local people to enjoy a range of sports including tennis and five-a-side football.
