Church Lane Park has had a major makeover! 🌳✨
The Mayor of Gedling, Councillor Sandra Barnes, officially opened the new woodland-themed playground yesterday, reflecting on her own childhood memories of growing up nearby and spending time playing in the park.
Now, thanks to a £100,000 refurbishment from FCC Communities Foundation, a whole new generation of children can enjoy climbing, swinging, exploring and making memories of their own.
Featuring new play equipment, an accessible roundabout, sensory features, an exercise trail and a refurbished zip wire, the transformed play area has been designed so children of different ages and abilities can enjoy playing together.
