We are delighted that four local parks are to benefit from almost £350,000 worth of improvements, with work getting underway now and scheduled to finish by the summer. It’s great to see our vision for these vital community facilities moving closer to reality. The projects are being funded by FCC Communities Foundation.
New facilities including play equipment, seating, outdoor fitness equipment and improved access will be installed at Coppice Park in Mapperley, Seaford Avenue Park in Wollaton, Amesbury Circus Park in Aspley and Arkwright Walk Open Space in The Meadows.
