Play Park Improvements 2021-2025
The plan
The reality
Abbey Park Community Association (APCA) are so pleased with the improvements the playground on Abbey Park and we hope you are too..
Phase 1 of improvements have now taken place and we are looking at Phase 2 along side Rushcliffe Borough Council (RBC) officers.
Subject to funding there is the potential for a Phase 2 which could include a MUGA (Multi Use Games Area) with low level football goals on the flat area between the trees/bank and the rear of the houses on Waltham Close - see drawing below. This Phase 2 would eventually incorporate landscape planting so the views from the nearby houses remain green and pleasant.
Early in 2021 APCA discussed the potential for adult outdoor gym equipment on the park. It's been a long time in the planning but this continues to move forward and we hope to bring you some news either towards the end of 2024 or the beginning of 2025.
Two benches have been installed on the park during 2024 and are enjoyed by many people. They really have been a fabulous addition. See stock photo below.
February 2025 APCA volunteers will be installing a willow weave similar to the one in West Bridgford Park. It will be positioned between the play park and the nature trail providing a natural link between the two area. Smaller than the one in the park, it will need to establish itself, so we ask that you and your children respect this.
