| ● Our vision for the park: |
SOUTHERN END OF PARK.
Made up of
1) Dark Green Area
A new children's play area with modern facilities and natural play areas for different age groups.
Renovated basketball courts and tennis courts and a new multi-sports facility replacing car park and maintenance depot and concrete area around them.
2) Rest of south of park
Childrens nursery, toilets & changing rooms and bowling club to remain as now.

("Our Vision" map is modified from the planners Plan2 map above) |
3) Northern end: Extend the park into the recycling centre when it is vacated and maybe create a cricket pitch there. During the previous 'swap' in 1989 the park lost its cricket pitch
