Work to extend parking and provide toilets at a popular children's playground is finished.

The work to improve the car park at Kilkenny Lane Country Park in Carterton is now complete and the site is ready for visitors.

The car park now has 29 spaces, three disabled bays, bike racks, and four toilets.

The car park  was shut by West Oxfordshire District Council on May 15 for eight weeks.

It has sensory elements, landscaped features such as mounds and tunnels,  willow igloos and a totem pole as well as a zip-wire, swings and slides, trampolines and a willow maze.

It recently underwent an £80,000 refurbishment after its timber climbing frame began to decay and had to be shut.

New equipment installed included two new diggers for the sand pit, two additional picnic tables for the sand pit area, a new rope basket swing, a 360-degree seat in the centre of the teenagers shelter area and three new rockers.

An inspection by the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA) found possible decay in some of the timbers of the climbing frame which had to be closed for a period.
