Play and sports equipment manufacturer Record RSS has installed a new £130k play area at Pentland's Park on behalf of Chilton Town Council.

The area includes the company's Synergy unit, which includes a number of climbing challenges along with a rope tower that acts both as a climbing opportunity and a centrepiece for the area.

Sedgefield Borough Council and the Big Lottery undertook funding for the project, with the play area fully completed in seven weeks.

Eleanor Smith, area manager for Record RSS says: "We had to take into consideration the children's ages whilst making sure that there was plenty of space for running around and that it was as challenging as possible."
