An upgraded play area for children has been opened at a park in Ribbleton.
Grange Park, off Glenview Close, has seen tens of thousands of pounds spent on the new kids play park.
Residents in the area approached Preston City Council about proposals for the park.
A number of organisations have worked together to fund the play area – with money coming from the Lancashire Environmental Fund, Moor Nook Central and Lancashire County Council alongside the city council. The work cost £105,519.

Cabinet member for environment councillor Brian Rollo said: “It was my pleasure to be part of this exciting occasion. Grange Park serves a large catchment area of young people and families, and was in need of a modernised, more inclusive play area.
“It has been great to work together with our partners to be able to provide this playground for our residents.”
Groundwork prepared the plan for the play area in partnership with the city council’s landscape architects – and the play park has three distinct areas for different age groups.

“Facilities to play and exercise are so important for people to lead healthy lives and I hope it is used well and looked after.”
