Playgrounds are set to reopen from 4 July delighting many parents and guardians in the district.
The sunny weather has brought many people out into the parks to enjoy the outdoors and from next month the playgrounds will also be open for children to enjoy.
One parent told The Stray Ferret:
“Its really hard to keep telling them that everything is closed so it’ll be nice to have a bit of normality back”.

But not all were in agreement, some parents are still worried about how these places can be kept clean:
“I’m a little nervous just because of all the touching and the kids in close quarters, I don’t know if they’re going to be cleaning it regularly.”
Harrogate parents were pleased with the announcement that playgrounds could reopen but still hoped safety measures would be put in place.
The announcement is a welcome relief for parents and guardians who have had children waiting to be allowed to use their local parks.
Harrogate Borough Council has said it’s looking at plans to open the facilities and more information will be released soon.
