The group has been working with Coun Ed Darling and residents of the Appleby estate to secure funding to renew the play area.
A spokesman for Rennaisance Knaresborough explained: “This project has been running for just over a year with a fundraising charge supported by Harrogate Borough, North Yorkshire County and Knaresborough Town councils, Knaresborough Lions, Rotary and Relief in Need.
“We have now secured 10 per cent of the final cost of renewing the play area.”.
An application has been submitted to the FCC Landfill Communities Fund for the remaining 90 per cent costs.
The group is eligible to apply due to the area’s proximity to the Allerton Waste Recovery Park.
