A brand-new play area in between West Way and Chancery Road in Astley Village has opened by Chorley councillors and pupils from Buckshaw Primary School following the original £2.7 million investment to build the sports hub.
West Way Sports Hub which opened in 2021 has seen a £110,000 investment into the area after Chorley Council and Astley Village Parish Council fund the creation of a play area facility.
The new addition to the area sees brand-new state of the art equipment for ages one to 12 years including a base climb unit inspired by the athletic disciplines of parkour, free running, and Ninja Warrior style challenges.
Cabinet Member for Planning and Development, Councillor Alistair Morwood said: “I am delighted that we have now officially opened West Way play area for all residents and visitors to enjoy. The West Way Sports Hub is a well-used facility for people across Chorley and I know the play area will be utilised just as much. I encourage everyone to come down and try out these great facilities”.
Take a look at some of the pictures.
