Project story
Sweco’s masterplan and detailed design for the park was based upon feedback generated through a public consultation process with local residents.
Acting as lead consultant and contract administrator for the project, Sweco also co-ordinated the activities of the quantity surveyor, civil engineers and M&E engineers and worked closely with the appointed public artist for the park.
The park, which was well received by the community, features a full size football pitch, children’s play zone, bowling green, boule court, orchard and osier bed. Formal planting and landform were also implemented.
