A newly revamped play area has been opened in Carlisle.

The Carlisle City Council Fusehill Street play area underwent a £41,000 refurbishment to replace its existing play equipment and deliver resurfacing works.

The new play equipment includes: swings (infants cradle seats, junior flat seats and a basket swing); a multi play unit with slide for younger children; a refurbished climbing unit for older children; a roundabout and a 'surfboard' seesaw.

Wicksteed Playgrounds and contractors Kirkcaldy & Roe completed the project.

Cllr Chris Southward, Portfolio holder for Environment and Transport, said: "I would to thank all those who have been involved in the development of the newly refurbished play area, including a big thank you to Brook Street School, Greystone Community Centre and Nursery, Fusehill Street Medical Practice and all the local children whose inspiring ideas and suggestions helped us to design and deliver the play area they wanted."
