Campaigners from the Fishtoft Playing Field Trust had secured the sum from WREN (Waste Recyling Environment).

As part of the project, Fishtoft Primary School pupils outlined their dream play area through drawings and letters.

The plans included new swings, a cradle swinging basket, a rumble bridge, a play tower, and adventure trails.
