North Tyneside Council (NTC) is to commence work on the construction of a new play area and multi-use games area at Station Road, Wallsend.

Designed for people of all ages, the new facility will include a zip wire and basket swing; spinning equipment; and a multi-climbing unit for older children. A toddler area with sand play, a see saw and spring toys is also proposed as part of the scheme, which has received Big Lottery Fund support.
