Plans have been unveiled for a new play area in Lichfield.

Work on the facility at Stowe Fields will begin later this month.

The play area will see swings, a zip line, slides, a seesaw and climbing frames built alongside the existing five-way swing and roundabout.

A safety flooring surface will also be put in place as part of the £56,820 project.

Cllr Liz Little, cabinet member for recycling and leisure, said:

> “It’s wonderful that this project is set to get underway and it looks like it will be a fantastic play area when complete.  
>  
> “We know families are really keen to see a better play offering at Stowe Fields and this playground should keep children entertained.  
>  
> “When social distancing measures are relaxed in the future, I am sure children will be really excited to use the equipment and get rid of some of their pent up energy.”  
>  
> Cllr Liz Little, Lichfield District Council

Once the new equipment is installed Stowe Field’s old junior play area, next to the outdoor gym, will be removed and the area re-landscaped.

Work to install the playground is expected to take around four weeks – but the site won’t be opened until social distancing measures are eased.
