It's child's play for locals who launched ambitious plan seven years ago to revamp their park

Dream comes true for families in bid to revamp local play area:

Phase One of the project was completed in September 2020 after £46,000 was raised to replace half of the equipment, drain and resurface the play area, clear access paths, plant trees and install new benches.Now the money needed to complete the scheme has been raised from numerous charities including the Dulverton Trust, the Shephard Street Trust, the Harris Trust and the Harold and Alice Bridges Charity.

A tender of £24,376 has been accepted from Landscape Engineering for the groundworks and installation of the new play equipment. A further £9,925 has been allocated for Preston Council to buy the play equipment direct from a supplier. The council will be accountable for the scheme and will pay the ongoing maintenance costs of the play area.

According to a report to be presented to the cabinet on Wednesday, Phase One of the scheme provided four new items of play equipment. Phase Two will include three new spinners and a new accessible roundabout for younger children."The project will allow a wider range of age groups and those of varying degrees of mobility to make better use of Conway Park," says the report.Conway Park was looking old and tired when residents decided to step in.
