Harrogate village playpark unveils much-needed makeover
A playpark in North Rigton near Harrogate has completed a full revamp after a two-year fundraising project.
The formerly dilapidated park has been remodelled to make it safer and more inclusive for disabled and older children.
Almscliffe Villages Community Association set up a fundraiser two years ago for the project and received major boosts from local organisations to hit its target.

The completion was aided by a £4,200 donation from The Banks Group, a local property developing company that has its own fund to aid community projects.
A grant was also given by The Liz and Terry Bramall Foundation, a charity which aids a wide variety of community causes.
The playpark is now open for North Rigton families to enjoy with children of all ages.
