A STRETCH of open space has been transformed into an attractive outdoor area for youngsters.
East Wickham Open Space, off Wickham Street in Welling, has a new five-a-side court with goalposts for football, and basketball hoops.Paid for by Bexley Council, it also has a shelter for youngsters and other new play equipment.
Footballer Luke Young, former England Under 21 and Spurs right back, who now plays for Charlton, opened the new venture and signalled an afternoon of fun.
Activities included a football tournament, a beat-the-goalkeeper competition, goodie bags and free coaching from Charlton staff.
