Works starts at Alexandra Park adventure play area

Work has started on the creation of an adventure play area in Alexandra Park.

Cramlington Town Council is investing £125,000 at the site following the transfer of the area to the Town Council from Northumberland County Council.

Councillor Helen Morris, Chair of the Community and Youth Committee said: “I’m delighted to see that work has started on the long-awaited project. This phase of the development  of the new play area will include a zip wire and a range of latest equipment including a spinning carousel, space nets, climbing challenges and a fitness trail.”

“We held a consultation to ask youngsters what they wanted, we drew up the plans to fulfil their wishes and here we are!”

“We have just opened our £20,000 Dog Park, which is proving to be a huge success and very popular with residents.”

“These developments follow on from our £100,000 investment in the Annie’s Green play area which caters for younger children and opened last year.”

“We want Alexandra Park to be a destination where people of all ages can be together having some outdoor family fun.”
