Plymouth City Council has temporarily closed a popular Plymouth park due to safety concerns.

Residents contacted Plymouth Plus expressing disappointment that Moorview Park in [Mutley](https://www.plymouthplus.co.uk/tag/mutley/) was suddenly closed.

The council took the decision to close the park after the wooden ramp leading into it became unsafe.
