The City of Lincoln Council said: “The fire was centred on the play area which is currently under refurbishment.

“Unfortunately we believe contractors’ equipment or materials are involved.

“We are extremely grateful to the fire service for their prompt response and thankful that they have been able to prevent the fire’s spread.

“The fire is now extinguished and we will be investigating in the morning.”
