The case of the disappearing play equipment
In early 2014, Carlisle City Council made the controversial decision to remove all equipment from 21 play areas, because maintenance was too expensive. Instead, money was to be invested in improvements at the more popular parks.
This view is at Toronto Park, a small green space in Currock (looking towards the back of a row of garages, behind Blackwell Road).
