Date revealed for grand reopening of children's play park in Morecambe

Torrisholme Park ahead of the reopening later this month

The date has been revealed for the reopening of a revamped children's playground.

Torrisholme Park will be officially reopened on Wednesday October 26 at 12.30pm.

The park has been rejuvenated with new play equipment.

Schools and other members of the community are invited to attend the reopening, where refreshments will be provided.

Lancaster City Council has been working with the Friends of Torrisholme Park to rejuvenate the playground on Michaelson Avenue after residents felt the current equipment was poor and in need of attention.

The old play equipment was removed, the surfacing taken up, and replaced with a new inclusive play unit, wheelchair roundabout, swings, and a seesaw.

The dream of an upgraded park, which also features accessible path and gates, has been made possible thanks to £50,000 from the Walney Extension Community Fund, £20,000 from the Lancashire Environmental Fund, and £6,000 from the city council’s own Making Spaces Fund.
