Parents, children and dog walkers are amongst those that will benefit from money being invested into three parks across Nottingham. One “run down” park, the Arkwright play area in The Meadows, is one of these parks.
Funding has been confirmed from FCC Communities Foundation to replace ageing and update existing play areas at Arkwright Park Play Area, with the site set to receive £65,000. Two additional bids have been submitted to FCC for Moor Road Play Area and Marmion Park Play Area. A decision on these two play areas will be confirmed this month.
There are other parks in Nottingham also that will recieve funding from projects, totalling £346,000 funded by FCC Communities Foundation (£268,000) and Nottingham City Council. Other parks benefiting include: Coppice Park, Seaford Avenue Park, Amesbury Circus Park and Arkwright Walk Open Space.
