The Town Park in Newport will be officially opened by the Minister this morning.

Local Labour Councillor Fiona Bonfield says the amenity has proven extremely popular.

“This is a very special day for Newport – we’ve waited a long time for this. The facility itself has been open over a year and a half now and it’s being enjoyed so much by many.

“The six acre site includes a playground, outdoor gym equipment, a multi-use games area and recreational walks. We are looking forward to welcoming the Minister today to officially open the facility.

“Personally I want to thank everyone who worked on this with us – we’re very proud of what’s been achieved.”
