An inclusive and accessible play area officially opens this week in York following a major refurbishment.

The Crombie Avenue site in Clifton is part of City of York Council’s wider investment in parks and green spaces and follows the recent opening of Glen Gardens.

Councillor Bob Webb, executive member for children, young people and education, said: "Seeing a second play area open in the space of a week is fantastic news for York's children and families.

"The new Crombie Avenue play area provides a fun, welcoming and inclusive space where children can be active, build confidence and make new friends."

Councillor Jenny Kent, executive member for environment and climate emergency, said the revamped site is "another great example of how investment in our parks is making a real difference for local communities".

She added: "Good quality parks and play spaces are so important for children and families."

The improvements are part of the council’s £750,000 Parks Investment Fund.
