Old Hall Park play area has received the perfect Christmas gift, with the completion of a £120,000 makeover.
The refurbishment project has given a new lease of life to the play area, off Cromwell Avenue at 20 Acre Park.
Play equipment, which was getting old and worn out, has been completely replaced with brand new equipment, for 2-8 year-old children of all abilities to enjoy.
The ball court has also been resurfaced and new Multi Use Games Area — a steel, anti-vandal, fenced area, with built-in goal post units – has also been installed.
The sparkling new play area was opened on Monday 23 December, by Warrington Borough Council’s Cabinet Member for Leisure and Community, Cllr Tony Higgins, who was joined by members of the local community.
Cllr Higgins said: “These improvements – the latest success for our playgrounds restoration project – have transformed Old Hall play area into a modern, exciting play zone, with new, inclusive equipment, to ensure access for disabled children.
“I’m delighted this work is complete. It’s great news for local families, who can look forward to many years of active play in this fantastic new-look facility.”
Grant funding of £50,000 was awarded by FCC Communities (formerly WREN) for the scheme, with the council contributing a further £70,000 towards the project.
Wicksteed Leisure Ltd were the contractors for the scheme, which took six weeks to complete.
