Improvements to Pategill Play Area with a new Bloqx2 climbing unit supplied and installed by Kompan, providing a high-quality and engaging play feature for children using the play area.

The project was supported by £7,000 from Penrith Town Council from its Play area development reserves, building on a previous £8,000 contribution by the town council towards wider improvements at the Westmorland and Furness owned play area.

The scheme was delivered in partnership with the Pategill Tenants and Residents Association & Westmorland & Furness Council, with the Tenants and Residents Association providing top up funding of £100 and Westmorland & Furness Council managing the project and sourcing the works.

Cllr Val Bowen, Chair of Penrith Town Council & Penrith Mayor, said:

“Pategill was the first project to benefit from the Town Council’s £90,000 Play Area Development Reserve, and it’s wonderful to see further improvements delivered through this programme, with the full £15,000 allocated to Pategill Play Area now fully invested.”

“By working in partnership with community groups and Westmorland & Furness Council, we can continue to invest in high-quality play facilities and deliver real benefits for families across Penrith.”
