Home About Us Getting here Opening times Prices/pool hire News/events Campsite Gallery Green energy Links Community Park	Playground NOW Open Come along bring your children and their friends to our fabulous new playground. Now that the pool is open you will be able to get drinks, snacks and ice creams from the pool kiosk! As anticipated, the new facilities are proving to be a real delight for local children (and their parents!) Although work on the wider site is still in progress (e.g. willow tunnels are being built) there is a good variety of equipment to suit all ages. During times when the pool is busy, the large gates linking the pool to the school field will be opened up so that children are free to picnic with their families, play in the playground and swim. (Please note that during these times, anyone who has paid to swim will be required to wear a wristband.)

Your support is invaluable to the need for funding for this project to go ahead. Your support also tells us that the community of Lazonby are in favour of a Community Park in the village. The Community Park will benefit all members of the local and rural areas. The project entails a playground space that will include fun and adventurous problem solving activities along with a nature area that will hold a willow plantation for den making, mixed native shrubbery, new trees and a wildflower meadow. The Community Park will be accessible to all, via entry and exit points at either end of the field. A seating and picnic area is also envisaged for this site. Children of all abilities will be able to enjoy the play area, exercise, be safe, explore nature and make a positive contribution to the environment. This project will present a unique opportunity for young people to be involved in creating a community garden for the nature area. Lazonby Community Park will create a focal point in the village, enhancing community involvement, inclusion and cohesion. It will be a valuable recreational facility for all. Thank you for your support. Lazonby Swimming Pool & Playground Committee communitypark@lazonbypool.co.uk
