The money will be used to extend and improve the play area, with exciting plans for a cableway, a basket swing, a modern climbing frame and large rotator to be installed there. The final plans have come about after talking to children from nearby Peel Park Primary School and local residents about what improvements they would like to see in the park.
Cllr Joyce Plummer, who is a long standing, active member of the group said; “I’m delighted we have been awarded this grant. Many children and young families live near the park and their views have helped to influence the plans for the play area, so I’m expecting it to be very popular.”
Cllr Ken Moss, Cabinet Member for Parks added; “This is great news, the Friends of Arden Hall and the Coppice have done a fantastic job securing the funds. This new play area upgrade will complement years of investment into Peel Park and the surrounding area to improve footpaths into the local countryside and to the summit of the Coppice in East Accrington.”
The play area will be installed later in the year and you can see the final design on the Council’s website at www.hyndburnbc.gov.uk.
