A colourful mural is brightening up a once dingy play park thanks to team work in Callington.

The Town Council and the Lions Club of Callington came together to revamp the Rosemullion Gardens Park.

Council members secured funding to employ local artist Brad Waters, who created a mural designed to catch the eye of young children.

Lions volunteers powerwashed the wall and applied a base coat of paint, as well as cutting back vegetation, weeding, and cleaning down all the play equipment.

A wooden panel fence has been put up in front of the old wire fencing.

“This has helped with the security of the area, thanks to JJ’s Garden Products,” said the Council.

“This has been a real community project thanks to the Lions, Brad, John and the Town Council Outside Services staff all working together. The park is now looking brighter, cleaner, more secure and welcoming for youngsters to use.”
