Improving the Roe Green Park sports and recreation facilities

As a result of local councillor campaigning, the Council started a three stage facility improvement in this park in 2006. This created the now very popular multi-games area, exercise equipment and landscaped the old lido site to restore it for park enjoyment. Unfortunately, the Council did not complete the 2nd or 3rd phase (adventure play facilities and tennis courts).

Now we have persuaded them to revisit those plans and to use funds generated from planning developments over the years to resource improved sports and recreation facilities. The current proposal is to replace play equipment items; upgrade and provide new for old paths; additional benches and the tennis courts from the previous scheme.

This is great news and your councillors have arranged for the Environment officers to liaise with our 'Walled Garden' enthusiasts beside the park, about their ideas for further improvements. We are also seeking ideas from residents, so lets hear from you.
