Public parks, play areas and recreation spaces are ready for the lighter nights and outdoor get togethers following the easing of lockdown restrictions.
Staff at Halton Borough Council have been working hard during winter and early spring in the parks and green spaces, getting areas ready for spring and summer.
Spring favourites like the roadside daffodils and other planting in the parks are now in bloom and more than 1,800 trees have been planted so far this year.
Bowling greens and tennis courts are now open for use and the children’s play areas are regularly inspected to make sure the equipment is suitable to use with some items being repaired and play surfaces having a spring clean.
Paul Boardman, parks manager, said: “The demand on public open space has been incredible over the last year.
“I can’t remember a period where our parks have been so consistently busy.
“Although it has been great to see people enjoying what we have to offer, it has also been challenging for our staff.
“They have been working hard to ensure our open spaces are ready for all to enjoy so please help them by taking your litter home and enjoying our sites responsibly.”
New paths, park furniture, play equipment and landscape improvements have all been carried out over the past 12 months as the council continues to invest in its public parks and open spaces.
