Ribbon Cutting Ceremony at Churwell Park

The Mayor of Morley formally opened the new children’s playground in Churwell Park by cutting a ribbon at a short ceremony this Sunday.

The new playground, which cost over £100,000, was built by Parks and Countryside Staff at Leeds City Council with money generated from a Developers greenspace contribution from a new housing development at Daisy Hill in Morley.

We are delighted with this new children’s play area and it has been welcomed by the local community. The playground was built following a large-scale consultation with local residents, Churwell children and Churwell based groups who decided the final design. It is a brilliant playground but we intend to look at improving it further perhaps with a smaller slide for toddlers as well as other play equipment.

The ceremony was attended by Churwell City and Town Councillors and was also supported by Churwell Environmental Volunteers, Churwell Bowling Club and Churwell Action Group who put on stalls and community games for residents and children to play.

We have worked closely with our Churwell Town Council colleagues to find the finance for this project. This is an excellent new children’s playground and we are already looking for additional finance to improve Churwell Park further.
