Thanks to all who came to the launch of the new facilities at Nightingale Avenue Recreation Ground last Saturday:
- to the Mayor, Cllr Sheila Stuart, who cut the tape of the new games area and also cut the cake
- to the CHYPPS team who ran the games and painted faces
- to Mark Buckton, who ran the Bin Challenge and gave recycling tips
- to Authentic Cakes, who made the cake
- to the City Council’s Active Communities team who managed the series of improvements to the recreation ground over the past few years

The games area can be used for a variety of ball games whatever the weather. The other recent enhancements have been:
- a second tennis court
- a revamped playground
