Could you help revamp popular park?
The second phase of improvements to one of the borough's landmark parks and playgrounds is nearing completion.
The revamped playground at Withy Grove Park in Bamber Bridge has been a huge hit since it opened two years ago.
Now a 400,000 project is almost finished, which will give the area facilities worthy of it becoming South Ribble's third 'major park'.
New, tree-lined pathways, benches, two football pitches and additional car parking will be finished by the end of the summer.
The park will also boast new bins which will enable visitors to recycle while out-and-about.
The planting areas are expected to take a bit longer to finish, and they should be completed in the coming winter and spring.
Most of the cash has come from developers in Bamber Bridge through the planning process, with 50,000 coming from Biffaward landfill tax grants.
More funding will be sought to pay for improvements to the western side of the park, once phase two is done.
Rangers are keen to hear from anyone who would like to get involved with the improvements through the Friends of Withy Grove Park.
