A local painting team and several staff volunteers, have been working hard to deliver a much-needed revamp to the children’s park on Blenheim Way in Castle Vale.
The Pioneer Group are a community based housing association providing 2,500 homes in Castle Vale, Birmingham.
During the makeover, all children’s play equipment and railings were given a fresh coat of paint, as well as litter-picking and general cleaning up in the local area.
Painting Team Leader, Liam, said: “All of the painting team at The Pioneer Group enjoyed completing this project at Blenheim Park and it was fantastic to hear the positive feedback from residents in the local community.”
“We would like to say thank you to all of the staff volunteers who joined us – it’s clear to see the impact we have had so far!”
The team of volunteers spent three days on site preparing the existing play equipment, painting and tidying the area last month.
Head of Facilities, Irfan, added: “Revamping the park on Blenheim Way was a great team effort.
“This is just one example of the additional value we can bring to the community, making real improvements to Castle Vale.
“We hope children and families will enjoy using it more!”
