A GAMES area means more sports from children to choose from.

The new outdoor sports area next to South Woodham Ferrers Village Hall, in Hullbridge Road, was officially opened on Saturday*May 10* morning, replacing the former tennis courts.

Costing around £143,000, the new area offers a multi-games unit for ball games, a redeveloped playground and specialist equipment for disabled children, including a climbing frame and swings.

Richard Weir-Ewing, chair of South Woodham Ferrers Town Council leisure committee at the time*they are re-electing chairs and town mayor on Tuesday night*, said everyone had been positive about the site.

He said: "The hard-court, originally a tennis court, had been an abandoned and derelict area for some years.

"We all hear about youth of a certain age group hanging around with nowhere to go, who appear to be doing nothing.

"Along with the skateboard area in Compass Gardens this project provides another meeting place, this project provides another meeting place and social area to chill out and have some fun."
