It is 'not nice on the eye' and it is feared children could be injured
Parents concerned about the impact of an "outdated" park have called for the site to be regenerated. Arno Vale Recreation Ground, Woodthorpe, has been popular with children for many years, but parents now believe it is time for some investment to go towards a "theme" that could make the area more appealing to younger people.
"We go more in the summer time if I'm just walking along with my grandson. But he's getting a little bit older now and I think some of the stuff is quite dated. There's a lot of metal on there so you've got to watch them all the time."We do use it but if it's not redone what we tend to do now, in the summer, is probably go up to the Gedling park because it's a much nicer park as the children are getting older. It's very outdated.
36-year-old Aimee Har lives locally and is a member of the Friends of Arno Vale Recreation Ground Facebook group. She said: "I became a member [of the Facebook group] because I live locally and have three children aged six, eight and nine which are prime ages for wanting to be able to use outdoor areas.
"Parks such as Gedling Country Park and Burton Joyce recreation ground have made such brilliant facilities aimed at both the older and younger children which I think is vital. Some good equipment for all ages, including the older children and teenagers such as an all weather football/basket hall area.
Leader of Gedling Borough Council, Councillor John Clarke MBE said: “We have a programme of works in the pipeline to improve several parks and open spaces around the borough, subject to crucial funding from our partners such as FCC Communities who have helped us improve dozens of parks, investing hundreds of thousands into our local communities along with our own funding.
