Ashington Town Council developed and funded the project with support from Ashington Leisure Partnership, and the playground was produced by Kompan Ltd.
Civic head of Ashington and councillor Bob Walkinshaw said: “We hope the development of the Alexandra Road play area facility will be welcomed by local families and children.
“The equipment in the play area will appeal to younger children and we believe this complements the recent improvements to play facilities for children of all age ranges at the nearby Hirst Park."
