Coun Matthew Robinson (Cons, Harewood), who officially opened the playground, said: “This has been a big community effort over many years, and I’d like to thank everyone who helped to make it a reality. It’s vital that we provide fun places for children to be able to play safely and get some exercise. Scarcroft is a small village, but local families have long wanted somewhere local for the children to play.”
