AN upgraded play area has been unveiled in Emmer Green park.

The playground was fitted with new equipment following a £350,000 investment by Reading Borough Council.

The design was chosen by residents and includes swings, toddler and junior multi-play units, play panels, accessible spring rides and a mini ball court.

The playground has also been fitted with a new surface to enable access for children and carers using mobility aids.
