A NEW play area in Glazebury, Warrington, is set to open in the spring.
It will feature a community orchard, climbing and seating areas made from boulders and logs, a willow dome, den-building areas, vegetable growing areas, wildlife-friendly hedges, trees and wildflowers.
A new footpath has been funded and installed by Eric Wright Civil Engineering into the play area to improve accessibility to the space, and residents have planted wildflower bulbs along it.
The latest improvements are part of a project to transform land provided to Culcheth and Glazebury Parish Council by Bents Garden and Home into a natural, interactive play area and community space for Glazebury residents.
The project has been organised and coordinated by Glazebury Community Play Area committee with support from The Mersey Forest. It has been supported by a range of local partners, including Cory Environmental Trust in Britain through the Landfill Communities Fund and Big Tree Plant funding through The Mersey Forest.
Graham Borg, group chair and local resident said: “The team from Eric Wright have been really supportive and now that the paths are complete, the next step is to install new access gates with the help of United Utilities. This is another big step towards opening the play area this spring.”
