Work has got under way on a huge revamp for Doncaster’s Astrabound play centre – 16 years after it first opened.

The play centre in Crompton Road, Wheatley will remain open throughout the works – but users are being warned of potential disruption and that some areas will be closed during the works, which are scheduled to run until May 10.

An Astrabound spokesperson said: “Work has commenced today.

“We are super excited and look forward to you all enjoying our new features in the coming weeks.

“There will be no access to the target area or gaming machine area.”

“Apologies for any inconvenience this may cause. We are aiming for minimal disruption.”

The venue first opened its doors in March 2008 and has attracted thousands of youngsters and their families from across Doncaster and beyond since its opening.
