Work on the park will begin in November
A play area on a Nottinghamshire recreation ground is set to be improved thanks to a £100,000 grant. FCC Communities Foundation provided the grant to Lambley Lane Recreation Ground Play Area in Gedling, which will see the old equipment and flooring removed and replaced.
These changes will make the play area suitable for children up to the age of 12 years old, unlike the current play area which is only suitable for those aged six and under. , during which the existing play area will be closed.
Jenny Hollingsworth, Chair of the Gedling Parks Community Group said: "I’m so happy to share the news that we’ll soon have a brand new play area at Lambley Lane. The support from the local community has not only been incredible, but also a vital part of our application to secure funding for the site.
"This has been a real collaborative effort between the local community, Gedling Borough council and FCC, and I’d like to thank everyone involved for their support.” Councillor Viv McCrossen, Portfolio Holder for Climate Change and Natural Habitat, added: "I’m incredibly pleased that we’ve been able to work in partnership with the local community to bring these major improvements to Lambley Lane Play Area.
