A children's play area has been dubbed "the saddest playground in the UK" as it consists of just a tiny slide and a bench. The dreary sight contains only one small metal slide just three steps high with a wooden seat a few feet away.
The tiny playground in Waterfall Terrace, Tooting, south west London, is just a few feet wide and has a black metal fence around the drab asphalt. It was slammed by residents who branded the playground a “sad art installation” while another called it “pathetic”.
Rex Osborn, who is standing for election as a Labour councillor for Tooting Broadway, shared a photo on Twitter, adding: “For 44 years Conservative Wandsworth Council neglected Tooting Broadway. This sad, dismal Council playground is symbolic of that neglect. If elected to the Council, 0n 14 July, I’ll get this playground upgraded.”
