A play area has been opened on a new housing development in Cockermouth.
Mayor Alan Tyson did the ribbon-snipping honours at The Laureates, off Low Road.
The mayor was joined by residents who enjoyed free ice creams served from a vintage ice cream tricycle.
The play park, which includes swings, slides and a small climbing wall, is predominantly made from wood to complement its surroundings, with seating placed close to activities.
Trees have been planted over benches and seating which, when matured, will provide extra shade for parents and children.
Councillor Tyson said: “It’s been lovely meeting local residents at The Laureates, all of whom seem thrilled with the new play area which offers a safe outdoor space for their children to enjoy.”
The Laureates is a collection of 217 new homes.
