Youngsters in Nuneaton will soon have a play area to be proud of when work is completed at Sherbourne Avenue Recreation Ground.
The new area will have equipment suitable for a range of age groups and abilities.
This includes a large slide, an overhead carousel, three-way seesaw, a wobble bridge, climbing wall, and monkey bars.
Also, tarmacked pathways are being installed from Sherbourne Avenue and Portland Drive cul-de-sac to the play area, making the park accessible during wet periods.
The project, which is costing £125,000, is being carried out by contractors Impart Links for the enabling and path works and Kompan for the play area.
The work is expected to last for approximately 15 weeks, and the park will be closed during this time for health and safety reasons.
Funding for the project came after the Council was awarded £4,028,173 from the UK Shared Prosperity Fund (UKSPF) for the period 2024/5.
This fund has replaced European funding and is intended to reduce inequalities between communities as part of the government’s wider levelling up agenda.
Cllr Julian Gutteridge, Portfolio Holder for Health and Environment at Nuneaton and Bedworth Borough Council, said:
“Sherbourne Avenue Recreation Ground will soon have a superb play facility for our youngsters to enjoy for many years to come.
“Users of all ages and abilities can learn, imagine, and play together.
“The landscaped areas will also be much improved, and the accessibility for users will be boosted as well as the ecology of the area.’’
