Following renovation works, Charlton Park playground is now re-open to the public, marking the completion of an extensive improvement programme. As well as new playground equipment, paths around the park have been repaired, additional seating and bins are now in place and the listed wall strengthened.
Charlton Park also received separate funding, alongside being part of the Council’s £1million investment, which was used to modernise the main sports changing rooms, installing a carbon neutral heating system and a new disabled toilet.
CouncillorAdel Khaireh, Cabinet Member for Equality, Culture and Communities said: “Back in 2020, we committed to investing £1million to improve parks across the borough. I am thrilled to say that we have delivered on that promise. These works are now complete, ready for families across the borough to enjoy this summer.
“As well as aesthetic improvements to make our parks more welcoming, we’ve made improvements to surfaces, added accessible playground equipment and transformed existing facilities such as the new wildlife pond in Rockliffe Gardens.
“We know that our parks and open spaces contribute to the mental and physical wellbeing of our residents and these improvements will make them more accessible to our residents. My thanks go out to the all the friends of parks groups who have supported this project.”
