The newly lanscaped site on the corner of Hartington St/Anson St in Hindpool was officially opened by Barrow's Deputy Mayor, Rory McClure yesterday (17/03/2010).
The Deputy Mayor was accompanied by four children from St James' School who won a competition to come up with a name for the site and took part in the cutting of the ribbon.
The children each won a £10 book token for being part of the team which came up with the winning name.
The development of the site was a partnership between Barrow Borough Council and Hartington St Methodist Church (the site owners), the site also includes a great contribution from Furness Woodturners Association who have sculpted some wooden seats shaped like people.
The site is a great addition to the gradual transformation of Hindpool and adds another splash of greenery to the area.
