Halton Borough Council’s Playground Maintenance Team is deep cleaning the rubberised safety surfaces in the toddler area of Victoria Park Playground this week.
Due to the high temperature of the water used in the cleaning process, this section of the playground will be closed to the public during working hours.
It is anticipated that the work will be complete by 3pm this Friday.
The junior area of the playground (which still has swings, slide, roundabout etc.) will remain open during the period.
The park, run by Halton Borough Council, was announced by Green Flag Award as one of the winners of the 2018 People’s Choice vote, beating hundreds of others to be in the top five in the UK.
It was the only park in Cheshire or the whole North West of England to make the cut.
With more than 1,800 sites to choose from – all of which meet the high standards demanded by the Green Flag Award, the international quality marks for parks and green spaces – the public chose its ten favourites.
Victoria Park is one of a top ten that includes a university campus, a town park, a woodland and a nature reserve. According to TripAdvisor it is the number one attraction in Widnes.
