It was reported that the main tower of the slide had been damaged beyond repair.

The main tower was the only area of the play park which sustained heavy damage.

£124,000 was invested in the play park as part of its refurbishment in June 2018, following a successful bid for funding from the WREN community action fund by Gedling Borough Council and the Friends of Arnot Hill Park group.

A spokesman for Nottinghamshire Police today said: “Officers have worked with Gedling Borough Council this week and reviewed CCTV footage of the incident.”
