MERIDEN Adventure Playground has had life-saving equipment installed outside its cafe.
Last year volunteers had launched an online appeal to place a defibrillator at the popular play facility.
The playground has said that the kit – to be used if someone suffers a cardiac arrest – would be a major asset.
Now it has got a device on-site thanks to support from Marston Green & District Lions.
The playground thanked the group, although it added that hopefully the equipment would never have to be used.
When the site launched its appeal a few months ago, a spokesman said: "By having a defibrillator on the outside of the building this will enable local people in the community to access in an emergency situation.
"[It would provide] peace of mind that in an emergency, in a remote park, this equipment could potentially save a life."
