A noticed attached to the gate into the children's play park in Benton Quarry Park. The sign informs users that the park is closed following public health advice from the government. The government's response to the COVID-19 pandemic which struck the UK in the first part of 2020 included the closure of all children's play areas in order to limit contact between children, the equipment, and each other, to try and reduce the risk of catching the virus.
