A CLEVELAND village is celebrating a new play area.

Stillington has been able to provide the facilities thanks to a £20,000 grant from environmental body, Enventure.

The previous play area had fallen into disrepair and equipment did not match health and safety standards.

The project aimed to build a play site to cater for children aged two to 12 and to create a sports wall for older children and adults.

Equipment for the playground has included swing sets, adventure trail and activity tower. The sports wall will allow for such activities as basketball and football.

As a safety boost, wood chips and safe tarmac was installed around the area.

The playground was opened on Saturday.
