A popular sandpit play area has reopened to the public.

Whiteley's sandpit, located in Whiteley Shopping Centre, was reopened on Friday, March 28, following a revamp to "get kids outdoors and active" ahead of the Easter holidays.

The play area now has an accessibility ramp, a decking area, umbrellas for shade, and a range of new toys for children to play with.

The improvements also include new buckets and spades and an accessibility ramp to ensure all children can play.

Mia Gordon, centre manager at Whiteley, said: "Community is at the heart of everything we do at Whiteley.

"We know just how much our families love the sandpit each year, so we're delighted to unveil our revamped, bigger and better sandpit.

"We can't wait to see the smiles on their faces as they make the most of the new area."
