Upton and North Elmsall Parish Council commissioned the park, partly paid for through reserves and a loan, to bring the School Street land back into use decades after park equipment was removed.

The land became neglected illegal off-road bikers.

The official opening was due on Saturday, but was put back to Sunday because of the inclement weather. There was a bouncy castle and free sweets for the children.
