Residents of the Longlands Estate in North Kensington are celebrating the official opening of their newly renovated playground, offering safe and exciting new facilities and a space for the community to gather and play.
The £57,000 project, funded by Section 106, where contributions can be sought from developers towards the costs of providing community projects, marks a significant upgrade from the old play area, which had become well-worn over the years.
The new playground boasts a superior new range of KOMPAN playground equipment such as a tower set with a tumble and talk tunnel, climbing net and a slide. The playground also has a spinner bowl, a climbing block, new swings and a pony seesaw chosen by residents, who selected pieces that would provide a variety of creative play options for children of all ages.
The official opening took place on Monday 9 September, with face painting and games to mark the occasion. Thank you to everyone who came out to play and made it such a fun filled afternoon.
This renovation is part of the Council’s ongoing estate improvement, and we’re eager to hear your ideas for further improvements.
