Suffolk school children help design new play area
They've also had input on the sculptures going on display
A children's play area in Felixstowe is set for a major revamp.
It's thanks to a joint project between East Suffolk Council and the Town Council.
The design for Langer Park's been put together with the help of children at the nearby Langer Primary, and features include a zipline and new swings.
There will also be a basket swing, cradle swings, slides, sensory play panels and multi play units.
Three sculptures, created by artist Graeme Mitcheson and children from Langer Primary, will also be installed as part of the Lost Creek Trail.
Cllr Katie Graham, East Suffolk Council’s cabinet member for Communities, Leisure and Tourism, said: “This work will transform the play area into an attractive, fun and modern facility and allow families to enjoy the park even more.
"The refurbishment of the play area is part of a wider programme of improvements to Langer Park, creating a welcoming and relaxing space for everyone to enjoy.”
Cllr Seamus Bennett, Mayor of Felixstowe said: “Felixstowe Town Council is delighted to be supporting East Suffolk Council in upgrading this popular and much-loved green space.
"We are excited to see the stone sculptures, carved by a local artist following input from local primary school children, installed as part of the Lost Creek Play Trail, funded by the Town Council.”
Work is expected to start shortly, and completion is expected in August.
