Consort Park and Dr Harold Moody Park
Improvements to the park include planting more trees and better access for individuals with disabilities.
The first public consultation was held in early 2020, the second in spring 2021, and the third in summer 2022.
A masterplan was created with the local community and includes:
- merging Consort Park and Dr Harold Moody Park
- creating more parkland and removing part of the road and parking spaces
- additional seats and picnic benches
The play area in Dr Harold Moody Park will be refurbished to include:
- more play equipment
- improving the play equipment for children with disabilities
- a new pump track for skating
- fitness climbing 'trees'
- another table tennis table
- a chess table
- adding wider pathways and removing gates to improve access for people with disabilities (following an Equalities Impact Assessment)
It will also become more beneficial to wildlife by:
- planting 22 new trees
- creating a dense urban forest of 105 small trees and shrubs, plants and wildflower meadows
