A new £300,000 play park is now open.
Edisford Bridge Play Park in Clitheroe was officially opened by Ribble Valley Mayor Councillor Jan Alcock, who cut the ribbon on the new facility.
The park offers 150 play experiences for children aged two to 14 and is part of Ribble Valley Borough Council's wider goal to upgrade its 18 public play areas.
Cllr Stuart Hirst, chair of Ribble Valley Borough Council’s community services committee, said: "Edisford is a popular visitor destination, attracting thousands of visitors a year to its many attractions, including a miniature railway and scenic riverside walks.
"We have exciting plans for the development of Edisford, starting with this standout play park, which generations of children and visitors will be able to enjoy for years to come."
The park was built on a former pitch and putt site by outdoor play equipment specialists Wicksteed.
