The Parks Trust is pleased
to announce the new multi-play attraction equipment is now open in the play
area at Willen Lake South.
Staff officially opened the
new equipment on Monday 2nd
November 2015.
The new multi-play piece
will aim to accommodate a large number of children and provide entertainment
for visitors to the lake.
The new pieces of equipment
replace the two large pieces of play equipment which were installed in 2002.
The Parks Trust Landscape
and Operations Director, Rob Riekie said: “After 10 years it was time to
replace the old play equipment due to wear.
“We are so pleased the new
pieces have been installed and children will be able to enjoy the play area this
autumn and beyond, in one of our busiest parks.
“We have invested a large amount in Willen
Lake in a bid to improve the area for our visitors. We hope people enjoy the
play equipment at Willen Lake.”
On top of ongoing
maintenance £110,000 has been invested into Willen Lake this year to help
improve the quality and standard of the park.
