PEOPLE living in Darlington are being encouraged to have their say on plans for a park.

About £75,000 is to be spent on Alderman Crooks Park, with equipment for children aged up to 14 being installed.

People can visit the Dolphin Centre from Monday to Friday next week where they will be able to see the plans and make their views known to borough council officials.

Work is due to start by early July. Similar play area schemes are to be undertaken in South Park and North Lodge Park.

Cabinet member for leisure Councillor Lee Vasey, said: "The play area is going to be something different and really exciting. What we want is for parents and children to come and look at the plans and let us know what they think."
