Ravenshead Leisure Centre and Ravenshead Parish Council are celebrating following the opening of a new multi-play unit in the leisure centre playground.

The new unit is now finished and ready for young adventurers to try out its exciting opportunities.

Featuring two new slides, a climbing wall, balancing walkways and a banister slide, the unit complements the existing equipment for under-12s at the site and has colourful panels at a lower level for toddlers.

The new equipment was funded by a £34,983.64 grant from FCC Communities Foundation.
