A park in Canton is to receive £40,000 funding for a playground makeover.
The play area in Kitchener Gardens in Canton will close next week for improvements to take place.
Canton councillors, who applied to Cardiff council's parks department for the funds backed by a 50-signature petition from local residents, welcomed the news – saying all the parks in the ward were now of a good standard.
Councillor Ramesh Patel said:
"It was in serious need because it was literally falling apart and in a poor state.
"Now Victoria, Thompsons, Lansdowne parks all have had funding put into them and we've used some of the section 106 money for it.
"It means the parks in Canton have now got facilities for children to play in – which it great exercise for them and good for the parents too."
The park will have a facility for toddlers and for children aged up to 12 years.
Anderson Fields in Adamsdown also recently underwent a makeover but a group of local artists. Art-y-park on Constellation Street was transformed over nine months.
