A project which has taken nearly a decade to complete has finally been finished and opened to the delight of families in a city suburb.
The Queen's Hill play area has been undergoing a revamp worth thousands of pounds to upgrade it from a tired-looking area.
However the first load of new equipment was installed almost ten years ago with the final piece of the puzzle being put in last week.
The remaining pièce de résistance of the Costessey park is a recycling truck which has 38 features for kids to swing, climb and jump off.
It comes as the nearby Breckland Road play park has also been finished.
Dan Burrill, town council chairman, said: “We are really pleased to finish two large projects at well-used parks either side of Costessey, ready for the warmer weather.
“Maintaining play areas to a high standard is always a priority for the town council and using developer contributions to enhance them is always well-received by our communities.”
The equipment across both sites cost £46,000 with around £30,000 came from developer contributions.
The transformation of Queen's Hill play area, in Poethlyn Drive, came off the back of feedback from neighbours.
Nigel Bailey, who is on the Costessey town council, said: "Over the last eight years we've been adding to it piece by piece.
"We've installed things like a rock-climbing apparatus, ziplines, football goals and this was the last major piece to go.
"The truck is the centre piece for the young children who use the park and it's the first of it's kind in the UK.
"We're really excited about it and look forward to it being used."
As well as the truck being installed a new bench has also been added alongside it, with a second popping up outside the nearby community centre.
