Development work will give Llangollen’s Riverside Park a refreshing new look.
Contractors are working on a raft of new features for the site.
The work has
been made possible through the Welsh Government’s Brilliant Basics funding
round for 2022/23 that is available to enhance parks and recreational spaces.
Brilliant
Basics is a fund to deliver basic small-scale tourism infrastructure
improvements across all of Wales in order to ensure that all visitors have a
positive and memorable experience throughout all aspects of their stay.
A new 9-hole bespoke mini golf is due to be finished end of March with holes representing places and features of interest within Llangollen and the Dee valley.
This will include an active travel interpretation map for the area and replaces
the old course at the site.
New play
equipment for the 5-12 year old age range will be installed early April.
This will include multi-use climbing frame and basket swing.
Work is
underway at the bandstand to install electricity power points to increase
opportunities for entertainment along with seating block created in to the bank
area for spectators.
Green
infrastructure has been introduced sat the park with trees to create shade,
wildflower planting and shrub planting around the park. A green
space area will be extended by introducing grass up to and around the blocked
dragon area.
Paul Evans, Plas Newydd site manager, said: “While planning this work, we worked closely with Llangollen Fringe along with Llangollen Parks Community group and Llangollen Town Council, who both provided some of the match funding towards the project.
"We look forward to all works being complete very soon.”
Cllr
Win-Mullen James, Lead Member for Local Development and Planning, said: “It is
great to see this work underway at the Riverside Park and I look forward to
seeing people enjoying the end result. I am also pleased to see the green
environmental work taking place alongside a fantastic new play area for
youngsters.”
