SLDC's backing the restoration of a lakeside park to the tune of £150,000.
It'll be spent bringing Millerground on the eastern shore of Windermere back to its former glory.
The green space is one of the few remaining free access points to the lake - but it's become run-down and overgrown over the years.
The plans include a new adventure playground and picnic area.
“The major focus point will be the new adventure playground,” said Millerground Enhancement Group chair John Saunders.
“The idea is to provide an area that’s accessible for all sorts of people of all ages. We want to make it a place for youngsters and their families.
“The money will also be spent on creating a new picnic area, as well as improved access to the beach and the lake and adding and restoring pathways.
“We want to make it as wheelchair friendly as possible,” said Mr Saunders.
“It will be a wonderful natural rest area between Windermere and Bowness, which is something we don’t really have at the moment.
“It’s such good news for our community, everyone is very pleased and very excited.”

Councillor Berry said: “I have worked with this project from the beginning and it is amazing to see how the hard work of local people has paid off in improving our area. It makes me very proud to represent Windermere.
“From the first £50 that I gave to the group to plant bluebells to now receiving this £150,000 from South Lakeland District Council, I know every penny will be well spent. Thank you to everyone involved and for the support from the council."
The funding has been welcomed by SLDC’s portfolio holder for town centres and small business, Councillor Giles Archibald, and council leader and finance portfolio holder Councillor Peter Thornton.
Councillor Archibald commented: “This demonstrates our commitment to localism and working in partnership with the local community to enhance areas such as Millerground.’’
Councillor Thornton added: “Many councils use the New Homes Bonus to pay their own bills but South Lakeland have always believed that it should be used to help community projects such as these.
“I’m delighted that we have been able to help this community to realise its ambitions”
