This used to be the paddling pool and there are plans to build a skatepark, though some locals are objecting, seemingly, based on the potential increased noise.

The old shelter has been removed and the pool filled in and it's now fitted with training equipment, little used by all accounts.

They may need to build in some kind of protection from the south-west winds. That's the seawall at the bottom left and in winter at high tide with an on-shore wind it can be quite exciting along that stretch of the esplanade. Also wet.
