Based on previous feedback to the past Parks Satisfaction survey, here are some of the steps taken:

Picnic tables, mobile cafés, new toilets and drinking fountains have been introduced, all aimed at making parks more welcoming, convenient and sociable. Play areas have been upgraded by adding basket swings for teens, making roundabouts accessible and resurfacing paths, to provide inclusive, safe and stimulating play environments. New sports facilities and outdoor gyms have been added, encouraging fitness and facilitated events like cycling sessions and planting days to foster community spirit and participation.

The council says it has also supported biodiversity initiatives and growing spaces by working with its partners to develop new community growing beds, installing loggeries and bee hotels and designated more pollination stations. This aims to increase biodiversity, improve habitats and empower residents to connect with nature through hands-on ecological stewardship.
