Great News From The Arnside Playground Project

The target has been reached! and the new playground equipment is currently being manufactured. The lead time is around 8-10 weeks and the installation takes 2-3 weeks. So the new playground should be up and running in time for summer at the latest

Thank you to everyone who has helped, supported and donated to the Playground Project over the last 12 months. There has been amazing community involvement and it has all made this possible. Grants have been received from various trusts and community funds, as well as sizeable donations from local events including the Arnside Music Festival and the Arts & Crafts Fair in the summer. The Parish Council have also made a sizeable donation in recognition of the importance of having a safe, stimulating children’s playground in the village.

The price has been renegotiated with the supplier, and it has been agreed to use our own contractor to remove the current equipment. A generous offer to supply security fencing while the work is done free of charge has all helped to get to our goal.

So a massive ‘Thank You!’ and ‘Well Done!’ to the fundraising group, sponsors, donors and everyone involved in making this happen.

We look forward to seeing all the children having a great time and enjoying the new Arnside Playground!
