New play equipment for Wollaston park

A play area in Wollaston, West Midlands, is undergoing a redevelopment which will see it benefit from an investment worth £80,000.

The improvements at the park – funded in part by a grant from the UK Shared Prosperity Fund – will include new play equipment for children of all ages.

Working with the local tenants and residents’ association, Dudley Metropolitan Borough Council successfully applied for £72,500 through the UKSPF. The remaining £7,500 of costs are being sourced through Section 106 money.

The play area will consist of a toddler multi-play unit, a junior multi-play unit, a flush roundabout, a two-bay swing, springers, roll-over bars, seesaw, sensory totem and sensory panels, fun and educational thermographs and toddler seating.
