A new canopy and picnic benches have been installed in Harrogate’s Valley Gardens.
Harrogate Borough Council put in the facilities, which cost £25,000, as part of its annual maintenance programme.
The council said the existing benches were in need of repair.
It added the new seats and canopy would “ensure visitors have adequate seating and shelter from not only the rain and snow but also the hot weather”.
A spokesperson for Harrogate Borough Council said:
“Valley Gardens receives more than four million visits per year, and the new picnic benches have been installed to replace the existing ones that were in disrepair, as part of our annual maintenance programme.
“To celebrate these new additions to Valley Gardens we are hosting a treasure hunt on Tuesday 14 February between noon and 4pm. The first 240 children to complete the treasure hunt will receive a free ice-lolly.”
