There’s something exciting happening in Worlaby – a brand-new play park designed especially for teenagers is on the way.

Thanks to a £30,000 boost from North Lincolnshire Council, young people in the village will soon have their own space to meet up, get active and enjoy the outdoors.

The new park – funded through the council’s Community Grants Programme – will feature equipment chosen with teens in mind, giving them a proper hang-out spot that’s fun, safe and right on their doorstep.

Cllr Rob Waltham, leader of North Lincolnshire Council, said: “It’s fantastic to see another community project like this start to come to life.

“This is about giving young people somewhere they can really make their own – a space to be active, social and proud of their village – things like this really matter.”

The project is being led by Worlaby Parish Council, with work due to start once the equipment is ready to go.

Cllr Carl Sherwood, cabinet member for community wellbeing (rural), said: “Every village needs a spot like this – somewhere to meet friends, burn off energy and just have fun. Worlaby’s new park will be a brilliant addition that brings the whole community together.”

Since launching in 2011, the fund has supported hundreds of projects across North Lincolnshire – investing in the spaces, activities and facilities that residents say make the biggest difference.

Grants are available for junior and youth groups, charitable bodies, co-operatives, not-for-profit organisations, and individuals demonstrating excellence in sport, art, or culture. Support is also available for venue hire, helping to keep community spaces open and active. Find out how a grant could make a difference in your community.
