A NEW play area for youngsters was opened just in time for the Bank Holiday celebrations.
The play area is part of a £100,000 revamp of play facilities in York's popular Rowntree Park, but its planned opening earlier this month was delayed because of flooding from the Ouse.
It finally opened at the weekend, though a small section remains closed to children while the ground dries out.
The multi-play facility includes swings and play equipment for toddlers, and towers, tubes and zip wires for older children. Bark chipping on the surface protects against falls.
Work in the play section continues with the completion of a new shelter, and installation of cycle racks, litter bins and seats.
