Work has been completed on the revamp of Culcheth Village Green play area, transforming it into an exciting space with a wide range of mixed-age play resources for children.

Brand new additions to the play area include a zip line, multi-play units, seesaws and educational panels.

Project supporters came down to celebrate the official opening of the revamped playground. Wicksteeds Leisure, who delivered the project, gave out goodie bags to children enjoying the new equipment.

The investment is in the region of £213,000, with £140,000 of this provided by Culcheth and Glazebury Parish Council.

Warrington Borough Council’s Cabinet Member for communities, culture and leisure, Cllr Tony Higgins, said: “This project has breathed new life into Culcheth Village Green play area, providing an fantastic resource for children and families to enjoy. As soon as the site opened, we had reports of how busy it was, so it’s already being well used by the local community.

“The change has been transformational, and I’d like to thank everyone who has supported this project, - including the Parish council for the valuable funding they have provided.”
