With Lowestoft Town Council teaming up with Wicksteed Leisure - who are "experts in creative play spaces" - a new Alice in Wonderland themed play area is set to be unveiled.

"The new play area will expand and replace the existing play area with an 'Alice in Wonderland' theme running through the park."

With the new play area seeing the existing play area expanded and new equipment installed - including two separate multi-play units - panelling on the equipment and symbols across the park will "nod towards the 'Alice in Wonderland' theme."
