Hinckley youngsters to enjoy new park upgrades
Youngsters in Hinckley are now able to enjoy refurbished and improved facilities at Richmond Park.
The park, located next to the Green Towers Centre at the end of Richmond Road, has seen its ball court refurbished, and play area improved by the Borough Council.
Some new play equipment has also been added, including a climbing wall, an outdoor table tennis table and two springers. Other facilities in the park have been resurfaced, repainted or replaced where necessary.
Children can now enjoy the new-look park, with the works completed in good time before the summer holidays. A group of youngsters from nearby Richmond Primary School have already given it their seal of approval.
Cllr Lynda Hodgkins, Executive Member for Parks, said: "We are lucky in Hinckley and Bosworth to have so many great parks for our children to enjoy. These upgrades at Richmond Park are the latest move which shows how proud the Borough Council is of its parks.
“It was great to see local schoolchildren enjoying the new equipment at Richmond Park. Hopefully they and all of their friends will continue to love it for many years to come."
