Chalkhill Park includes an outdoor gym
It was smiles all round this holiday weekend as the new Chalkhill Park was opened to the public.
The long awaited park in Chalkhill Road welcomed its first visitors last Friday a month ahead of its official opening ceremony.
The park was given planning permission in 2010 and includes a play area as well as outdoor gym equipment, a performance area and a sculpture garden.
Cllr Michael Pavey, for the Barnhill ward, said: āIām so pleased that the beautiful new Chalkhill Park is open. Seeing all the kids having fun in the sunshine made my Bank Holiday. What a great way to kick off the summer.ā
An opening ceremony is still due to be held on June 8 and will include bouncy castles and a talent show.
