New Play Areas
Granby Lane Recreation Ground
A full refurbishment of a play area facility on Granby Lane Recreation ground which is expected to start on the 16th March 2009. Local school children at St Mary's C of E Primary School in Riddlesden have been involved in the design of the play area which will include an adventure trail, play hut climbing frame, swings, Ariel slide, dish roundabout and will include safer surfacing to naturalise into surroundings. It will also have a raging bull and animal sculptures, five-a-side goal posts along with elements of natural play including megaphones on a grass mounds, picnic area, seating and bins. Works will also include renewal of fencing to boundary of local allotments.
Funding for the project has been provided by Riddlesden & East Morton Urban Village, Area Initiative Fund, Wren landfill tax Community Fund and section 106 planning gains. An official opening will be arranged with the local school children later in the year and will include bulb/tree planting in which we hope the local schoolchildren will be involved with.
