After six weeks of refurbishments works costing around £100,000 a Nottinghamshire play area has reopened. The Colwick Rectory Play Area has been improved and new facilities have been added, such as a wheelchair accessible roundabout.
There is also a zip wire, trampoline, a multi-play unit with 17 different features, and new swings at the site. Funding for the facilities were made by the FCC Communities Foundation, a not-for-profit business that awards grants for community, conservation and heritage projects from funds donated by waste and resource management company FCC Environment through the Landfill Communities Fund.
A total grant of £99,466 was provided by FCC Communities Foundation for the development. Cheryl Raynor, Grant Manager at FCC Communities Foundation, said: "We are delighted to have supported the council in bringing this project to fruition.
