VILLAGE friends Sophie Finnegan and Abigail Richardson were given the honour of opening Dunsdale's Community Play Park.
Ten-year-old Sophie raised £200 towards the £94,000 project with a sponsored swim to help the village's Community Association achieve its ambition of reviving the derelict land which was once the play area.
And 13-year-old Abigail has been involved in planning meetings and delivering leaflets to each of the village's 74 houses in east Cleveland.
The project was mainly funded through £48,000 from the Landfill Tax Credit Scheme and £25,000 from Sita Trust.
