Springfield Park 

Pathway refurbishments

We have had contractors on site this month who have been carrying out some much needed repairs across the park. This includes sections of full resurfacing as well as patching pot holes and cracks to maintain good, safe access for all of our visitors.

Please take care over the next couple of weeks as we will have heavy plant moving around the park and some paths may be temporarily shut.

A big impact from our litter pick

Thank you to all of our volunteers who took part in the litter pick last month. As you can see, they cleared an impressive amount of waste  -  filling up the cage on the back of the Keeper's buggy! 

Not only does this have a big positive impact on the park in terms of presentation and protecting wildlife, it also means our Keepers can spend more time looking after the park in other ways. 

Our next litter pick is this Sunday 27 November 2pm - 3pm, meet at Springfield House.
