A council has urged families to stay away from the new playpark until it officially opens.
The Cae Bodfach playpark in Llanfyllin remains a construction site, although children have already been using the equipment.
Llanfyllin Town Council said the contractors' gazebo has been damaged and asked parents to keep children out while work continues.
A rubber safety surface will be laid at the site. It needs time to set, and walking on it too soon could damage it. Repairs could then be needed before the playpark opens, causing further delays.
A post on the council's Facebook page said: "We know everyone is excited to try the new playpark, but it is still a construction site and is not yet open.
"Children have been playing on the equipment, and the contractors’ gazebo has been damaged. Please ask your children to stay out until the work is complete and the park officially opens.

"The rubber safety surface will need time to set once laid. Walking on it too soon could ruin it, leaving us repairing the playpark before it has even opened and delaying everyone’s chance to enjoy it."
The council also said a contractor was bitten last week by a dog off its lead inside the dog-free zone. Dog owners have been asked to respect the restriction and keep pets out.
Additional measures will be taken this week to secure the site.
The council said patience would help ensure the playpark is ready for everyone to use. Enquiries can be sent to townclerk@llanfyllin-tc.gov.wales.
The post added: "A little patience now will help us get everything ready for everyone to enjoy.
"Thank you for your support."
Residents are asked to support the contractors by following the restrictions and waiting for an official opening announcement.
