A Grantham play area will be refurbished thanks to a £100,000 grant provided by the FCC Communities Foundation.
The Beeden Park play area near Beechcroft Road in Grantham will benefit from upgrades totalling £127,000 including additional funding of £5,000 from the Rotary Club of Grantham.
The overall figure also includes £22,000 of investment by South Kesteven District Council to improve the facilities at the park.
A spokesperson for the Council said: “Green spaces and play areas are really important for our community and make a huge difference to the wellbeing of those living in the area.
“We are delighted that the FCC Communities Foundation has awarded us the money to improve the facilities at Beeden Park.”
Following the successful grant, details of the improvement work will be decided by the Council in partnership with the FCC Communities Foundation.
FCC Communities Foundation is a not-for-profit business that awards grants for community projects through the Landfill Communities Fund.
Penny Horne, FCC Communities Foundation Grant Manager, says: “We’re delighted to be supporting the Grantham – Beeden Park Play Area Refurbishment project and pleased our funding will provide such a fantastic facility for children and young families across Grantham.
“FCC Communities Foundation is always happy to consider grant applications for projects that make a difference to local communities and we’re really looking forward to seeing this one take shape soon.”
