I TOOK my grandson and a friend up to Witton Park, Blackburn, for the last day of their school holidays.

It was very quiet as most schools had restarted so we had the new playground to ourselves – and what a wonderful playground it is.

Congratulations to everyone involved in its planning and construction.

The designer gets a pat on the back from me for all the unusual surprises there.

If you have not been, there are musical instruments, clever wooden carvings, adventure climbs and that slide that comes out of the trees.

Oh to be young again!

Witton Park just gets better and better.

If you haven’t been, I recommend it wholeheartedly.
