A PLAY area for youngsters has undergone the first stage of a makeover worth £133,000 to provide facilities for BMX bikers and skateboarders.

The playground in Rectory Park, Ruislip Road, Northolt, now includes skate and BMX equipment with stainless steel ramps and half pipes as well as other multi-sport areas such as a full basketball court.

Construction of the next stage will begin in December and cost a further £60,000.
