Turrets or timber? Vote for brand spanking new youngsters’ enjoyable zone

The vote is the third of its sort to be held within the borough over the previous two years. The first was for a showcase playground in Long Eaton’s West Park. Next got here an exciting enjoyable zone at Ilkeston’s Wash Meadows, which is understood regionally as Johnny’s Park.

The newest challenge to thrill children can also be in Ilkeston – at Erewash Square in Larklands. The profitable design will substitute a playground that already exists there.

Option One is woodland-themed with a “treetop” tower, a squirrel hunt path and “sensory” parts. Option Two boasts turrets and a “super-fast high slide”.

The challenge is the newest to be fuelled by the Government’s Shared Prosperity Fund – and is a part of the council’s Play Area Refurbishment Programme. Cllr Josy Hare, who’s Erewash’s Lead Member for Health and Wellbeing, mentioned: “We are proud to have secured funding on behalf of households and their kids. It is so vital that we offer good high quality, free and accessible areas to take pleasure in collectively, particularly as they preserve kids pleased and wholesome by way of play. 

Make positive to get your votes in by 12pm on Friday 20 February so we are able to provide the play space that you simply need to see.”
