People spoke of their delight as a run-down play area in Arnold was re-opened after a £100,000 refurbishment.
A 30-metre zip line is one of the attractions at the Muirfield Road Recreation Ground, which has been improved after a residents' group worked tirelessly to raise funds to renovate it.
Works on the play area began in October, with the playground officially opening on Thursday, November 28.
The Warren Action Group has been raising funds since 2015 with new equipment including the zip-line, a viper rope swing, roundabout and five metre climbing frame with slide.
Sue Jablonskas, chairman of the Warren Action Group, said: "Residents are over the moon. We've had kids out on the playground running around.
"Residents have said this is fantastic and it is what the area has needed for a long time. We asked the residents what they wanted us to do. It has been rundown for many years.
"It was in need of refurbishment and the residents have helped with the design. This marks the third and final part of the project.
"We are grateful to everyone who has supported our work on this since 2015."
Marica Neat, 48, who lives in the area and whose nine-year-old child will be using the park, said: "I think it is fantastic. There is so much variety for the kids to do.
"There is nothing in the area and the fact that it is nice and new just brightens up the place."
Funding has come from various sources including FCC Communites Foundation, Gedling Borough Council, Nottingham City Homes and Nottinghamshire County Council.
Mike Hill, deputy chief executive of Gedling Borough Council, said: "This is a fantastic new facility that will be welcomed by local residents.
"As part of our council plan, we are investing in local parks and play areas to enhance them and create a more attractive local environment that people can enjoy."
Cheryl Raynor, FCC Community Foundations local grant manager, added: "They have worked extremely hard over the past four years to transform the park and provide a space for children and families to have fun together.
"FCC Communities Foundation is always happy to consider grant applications for projects that make a difference to local communities and this is a great example of what can be achieved."
