Kids’ paradise! New ‘Gooner’ playground
DRAYTON Park Primary School is boasting a shiny new storyteller’s chair and lighthouse-shaped stage in a revamped playground designed by pupils.
Children from the school have been clambering over the new equipment, which is part of an Arsenal Football Club £12,000 overhaul of their playground.
There’s also a new wooden bridge and horizontal climbing wall, as well as more traditional playground equipment.
Children were fully involved in the plans, drawing pictures of what their ideal playground would look like.
Some features of the playground are also being used as ways of bringing lessons into the outside environment.
Islington Council’s children’s chief councillor Paula Belford (pictured above) said: “Through Section 106 agreements, the council is negotiating millions of pounds with local developers to spend on improvement projects like this.”
Additional funds were raised by the school’s PTA, RBS Supergrounds Project and the Gunners Fund. |
