Great Malvern's Priory Park will see its newly revamped play area open to the public in time for the Easter weekend.

The £500,000 project in Great Malvern will open on Good Friday (15 April), with a formal opening event held on 5 May.

Malvern Hills District Council has worked with specialist play equipment company, Flights of Fantasy, on the new, state-of-the-art design which is unique and eco-friendly.

The council has also been working with Avery Landscapes Limited, who are the main contractor for the project.

The new play area has sustainable timber, planting and materials to give a natural and rustic feel, while also allowing for a range of play.

Children will be able to climb on natural boulders, crawl through hobbit holes, hide in a hollow tree trunk, walk across a rope bridge, swing on a basket swing and even meet a giant dragonfly.

The play area replacement is part of the wider improvement plan for Priory Park which includes refurbishment to the shelters, desilting the pond and more.
