The new play area at Stowe Fields

It will replace the existing play area which will be removed over the summer.

Cllr Richard Cox, cabinet member for leisure, parks and waste at Lichfield District Council, said:

> “I am thrilled the play area is ready for children to enjoy over the summer holidays.  
>  
> “It’s a brilliant new facility and I am sure even more families will visit Stowe Pool to take advantage of the playground.   
>  
> “We are looking to install benches in the area as we know once children get to the play area they will want to stay for some time.  
>  
> “This is just one of a number of improvements we’ve made to the district’s parks over the summer – we have also launched three outdoor gyms recently, and I hope they are encouraging more people to take part in healthy exercise in our parks.”
