A play area in Skelmersdale is due to be revamped following a five year campaign by local Conservatives.
Local residents contacted Cllr Adrian Owens around 2009 about the state of the play facilities at Dalton Park.
Cllr Owens explained: "At the time, the land and the play area itself were not within the ownership of the borough council.
"I raised the issue with council officers and following many years of negotiations, the land is now finally within the council's ownership,
"I understand a programme of improvements has now been agreed and will be completed in time for the school summer break. Furthermore, essential removal of certain items will be carried out as soon as possible.
"It's great news for residents and I'm personally delighted that an issue raised with me by residents, backed by local Conservatives, has ended in a positive result."
