kids can play
Published: August 23, 2003
A Neglected park in one of Newcastle’s most deprived areas has been transformed into a state-of-the-art playground with the help of a £60,000 cash windfall. The site in the Lower Milehouse estate - home to no more than a rusty climbing frame just months ago - has been transformed into a children’s den bursting at the brim with play equipment.
Its now a full featured playground targetted at primary school kids. The money for the project came from a number of different organisations.
Grandmother Anne Malam, treasurer of the Lower Milehouse Tenant Management Organisation (TMO), said: “My two grandchildren come here every day. They love it and I have real problems trying to get them to leave. Before this came along young ones had to play on the streets because there was nowhere else. This was a much-needed play area and we are so happy we have it.”
