Playground and activity courts to open in Sheffield’s Longley Park, thanks to funding

 

Funding has been approved for the new facilities in Longley Park, thanks to a £100,000 grant from FCC Communities Foundation and a £75,000 grant from Veolia Environmental Trust.

This is alongside additional funding from the Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) and Public Health.

The money will be used to create a new playground focused on play for older children, and a high-quality, half basketball, half netball court.
