Residents celebrate opening of new £600k play area in Wolverhampton's East Park
Local families have enjoyed a celebration event at Wolverhampton's East Park today to mark the opening of a brand new play area and splash pad, following more than £600,000 of investment by Wolverhampton Council.
The new play area with treetop towers, friendly sharks and octopus and water splash play has been completed after local residents helped shape the plans.
The celebration event was held at the park for the local community and included a free bouncy castle and face painting, entertainment and refreshments.
It comes after the site was targeted by intruders in June, resulting in freshly laid wet pour rubber surfacing being damaged while still setting, and bags of sand were also emptied around the play area.
The development of the play area at East Park includes a toddler zone with cradle swings and a trampoline, a junior zone with climbing walls and multi-play unit and a teenage area with pendulum swing and giant slides.
