Youngsters in Loughborough will soon be able to enjoy brand new equipment they helped choose for a magnificent £250,000 play area.
Work on the spectacular beneficial project at Loughborough’s Queen’s Park has now started and should be completed by the end of next month.
It will include a specialist teenager’s area and state-of-the-art equipment for children of all ages.
Charnwood Borough Council has contributed £180,000 through its Play Strategy, with £72,000 coming from a grant from the Big Lottery Fund.
Cllr Jane Hunt (Conservative, Loughborough Nanpantan), Charnwood’s Champion for Children, Young People and Play, said: “We hope that children will come from across the Borough to enjoy this play area.
“This development has been focused on delivering equipment that will make a real difference to Charnwood’s children.”
One existing play area at Loughborough’s Queen’s Park will remain open until the project is completed.The scheme is part of a £513,000 investment in facilities for children and young people over three years.
Cllr Hunt added: “Play is vitally important to children’s development.
“This facility will provide local families and young people with a place to gather - a place where a real feeling of community can be built.”
