Woodlands Play Project in Birkenhead, Wirral.
Last week saw glorious sunshine for a day of family fun to mark the official launch of the Woodlands Community Play Project in Birkenhead. Clifton Park Residents’ Association have worked in close partnership with Wirral Council to complete the project, which received a grant of almost £50k from Community Spaces.
The site now boasts a magnificent new play area for younger children as well as a ball court and equipment aimed at older youths. This will help ensure that all local young people can benefit from the project.
The launch was supported by a number of local partners including the Local Authority, Community Police, Fire Service, Library Service and Housing Associations.
Activities on offer included sports, arts and crafts, story time and Karaoke. The Community Police helped serve free refreshments and the cake stall served up some real treats! The highlight for many was the Fire Service quad bikes with the children getting a chance to sit on them and hear about the work of the Fire Service.
Tom Fyson, Community Spaces Facilitator for the project said, “It’s always a treat to be able to enjoy the successful completion of projects. Members of the Residents Association have worked hard to ensure this project could be delivered and really deserved the success which could be seen at the launch. They already have plans for future projects and I’m sure there will be many more successes to come.”
“Congratulations to all involved. I’ve really enjoyed supporting you and helping make sure all your hard work has paid off. You should all be very proud of what you have achieved.”
Well done Clifton Park Residents Association for improving the facilities for young people in your community. It’s a pleasure working with you
