Maryport Activity Centre's new play area is set to feature a Roman watchtower and a Northern Lights display.
The Soft Brick Company, experts in playtime design, were commissioned to create this new attraction for smaller children.
It will be located in the former theatre space of the harbourside venue, previously known as the Wave.
The centre is currently undergoing a major refurbishment as part of the £12 million regeneration of Maryport.
The play park designers drew inspiration from Maryport's coastal location, wildlife, harbour, and Roman history.
The Soft Brick Company team explained their design. They said: "As the children first enter the play frame, they can immerse themselves in things found at your coastal location, from meeting sea animals on our floor stocks and biff bash bags, to learning about sea clean-ups.
"Once through the coast, the children can climb higher, passing the Maryport Lighthouse to reach the historical harbour.
"Here they can balance on the boats and jump across the coal piles as they learn about the railway, ship building and coal trade.
"Finally the Roman fort is located on the top tier where the Maryport Watch Tower is waiting.
"Explore the secret treasure trove, swing across the castle parapet on our aerial glide and climb the stone walls, before defending their realm in the dizzy disc armoury and reconstructing Hadrian’s Wall in our construction zone."
The transformation of Maryport Activity Centre will also include improvements to the Clip n’ Climb attraction, new multipurpose studio spaces, a community meeting space, party rooms, and an upgraded gymnasium.
Planning permission has been granted for the project, with Thomas Armstrong Group from Flimby as the main contractor.
The aim is to reopen the building in winter this year.
Cumberland Council is managing the regeneration projects.
Cllr Mark Fryer, leader of Cumberland Council, said: "This looks absolutely fantastic.
"Our public consultation said more facilities for children were needed in Maryport and we are absolutely delivering that.
"This adventure play, alongside the new Shiver Me Timbers outdoor attraction and a splash park on the harbourside, as well as a new skate park on the Promenade, is making Maryport into an even better place to visit with the family."
