Fitness equipment at Sandall Park has been covered over with orange mesh netting after a number of people were seen using the machines despite a nationwide closure of playgrounds.

A spokesman for Sandall Park said: “For those that don't understand the instruction "Do not use the equipment or playgrounds" - hopefully this message should be loud and clear.

“Thank you DMBC for helping get the message across.”

All playgrounds across Doncaster were ordered to be closed last month as part of the Government’s nationwide lockdown in a bid to prevent the spread of the deadly coronavirus which has so far claimed more than 11,000 lives in the UK.

Parks remain open for people to take their daily exercise – but groups are banned and social distancing measures should be followed.
