Action Factory worked in partnership with Groundwork Manchester, Salford and Trafford and the local community to design and build a sculpted seating area for the local play area. The local community also designed art work for the entrance of the play area and mosaic stepping stones. The design was based around the theme of space.

A series of workshops took place in which the local residents created sculptures and artwork which informed the final designs. These designs were turned in to the sculptures by an artist at Action Factory then installed and painted on site.

To open the park there was a celebration event including music, arts and a procession.
