A PRIMARY school in Padgate has unveiled its new all-weather sports area.

An old tarmaked space at Oakwood Avenue Community Primary School has been transformed into four activity areas by installing artificial grass.

The LazyLawn saw 800sq m on Wonder Yarn installed, creating three football pitches and a new ‘trim trail’ area.

Pupils will now be able to enjoy sports outside all year round.

Joanne Reilly, deputy headteacher at Oakwood Avenue, said: “We are so pleased with our new LazyLawn and the children love it.

“Previously, the courts were used for football only.

“However, now the children can use the area for many more activities.”
