Central Parks Ponds update - November 2024

Date

Check out these latest pics of progress on the Central Park Ponds Project.

In the last few weeks, we’ve completed some resurfacing, pulled back some of the fencing to allow more public access and we'll soon be adding a hand rail to the stepping stones to allow better access to Mawson’s Field.

There will still be some wooden fencing around the place, but we only plan to keep it in place until the planting has established.

The biggest and messiest job, though, is restating the football pitch above the north side pond and levelling and re-seeding Reservoir Field. Sadly it’s too wet to do these works at the moment but we will crack on with it as soon as we can. We're still hopeful of finishing the project in the Spring.

We’ve said it before, and we’ll say it again: for a whole host of reasons, getting this project done has ironically been no walk in the park and for that we apologise.

The good news is that visible progress is being made and we’ll keep you updated as things progress.
