Milton Keynes City Council is currently in the process of completing two brand new play areas.
A brand new play area has recently just been completed on Holy Thorn Lane in Shenley Church End completed with swings, a roundabout, a seesaw and a slide.
Now, work has started on a Dr Suess-themed park on Pigott Drive.
The playpark, which is based on The Lorax, will feature a brightly coloured area with cartoon-style trees as well as a large climbing frame, slide, swings, trampoline, zip wire and even the Lorax's house.
Free fitness equipment will also be installed with a basketball hoop and markings. Path resurfacing and landscape work will also take place.
Councillor Zoe Nolan, Labour Ward Councillor for Loughton & Shenley, said: “Play areas are a key part of children’s lives and it’s great to see that there are major improvements being made in Shenley Church End.
"We have worked with the community to understand the best approach to improve the play areas in the estate, and we’re pleased to see it all coming to fruition. We recently attended the newly opened play park on Holy Thorn Lane and look forward to seeing the exciting plans for The Lorax come to life!”
Councillor Shanika Mahendran, Labour Ward Councillor for Loughton & Shenley, added: “The new play parks are just what the doctor ordered! It’s great the City Council continues to invest in these sorts of facilities that will allow generations of children who will grow up in the area to play and create memories, as well as providing other important community spaces for people to come together. I’m so pleased the work has started and can’t wait to see it finished.”
