    A new children's play area in Ripon opened for families today.

    The Dallamires Playground is part of the city's new £15m Jack Laugher Leisure and Wellness Centre on Dallamires Lane. The pool is set to open on Wednesday.

    The playground seems to have gone down well on social media, with posts from parents saying it looks like "so much fun" and "wonderful for little kids".



    The play area can be accessed from a public footpath off Knaresborough Road.

    Three-year-old Lottie (pictured in our main image), was one of the first children to play on one of the slides.

    Her mum Kim said:

    "it's a lovely new play area for families to bring children to from this part of the city."
