The schedule of works has been drawn up by the Boston Town Area Committee.
Outdoor leisure facility improvements in Boston costing around £100,000 have been approved by Boston Borough Council’s cabinet.
As part of the improvements, the zip wire, nest swing and criss cross rides and the body twist outdoor gym equipment in Central Park have already been repaired, and the council’s own parks and grounds staff have repaired items in St John’s Park, Shelton’s Field and Woodville Road, where surfacing under swings was funded by Boston Big Local.
