DERBY'S Mundy Play Centre reopens to the public this Saturday APR 12following major improvements as part of a £2.5 million Markeaton Park revamp project.
At the centre of the new play area is a new lookout and two slides on a large mound, with new and existing equipment located around its edges.
New items include swings, a roundabout, climbing equipment, seating and picnic tables.
Two new footpaths have been built from the Mundy Play Centre car park and from Kedleston Road, so people can access the rest of the park without having to walk through the play area.
The work has been funded by a grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund and Big Lottery.
Councillor Martin Repton, cabinet member for leisure and culture, said: "This is the latest exciting phase of the multi-million-pound investment in the park. This is part of the Heritage Lottery Fund grant received by Derby City Council which are due to be completed by the end 2015.
"The new play area provides a safe and secure area for children of all ages to enjoy, including a wide range of new and existing play equipment set within a newly landscaped area.
"With the Easter holidays starting it couldn't be a better time to get out and enjoy the new facilities."
