IT’S good to see Bolton town centre’s popular elephant sculptures finding a new home in the emerging play area in Octagon Court.
Generations of children have been pictured astride the elephants – which figure in the town’s coat of arms and elsewhere – and a new play area for youngsters is just the right place for them.
Let’s hope this new playground has been created with the same thought put into the excellent one at Queens Park. This includes a giant pyramid climbing frame, zip-line and woodland course. Children need to let their imaginations run free along with their bodies at playtime.
