Description
The park occupies about 9 acres of land between Huntingtree Road and Thornhill Road opposite Huntingtree Primary School. There are a variety of deciduous trees around the perimeter of the park and a small Urban Forest at the corner of Thornhill Road and Huntingtree Road.
The park has a full size football pitch. Under the Healthy Towns Project the children’s play area, with junior and infant equipment, has been upgraded and one of the tennis courts converted to a Multi Games Court. The remaining tennis court has a permanent net. The football pitch has had a major new drainage system installed.
The Healthy Hub building is the centre of a variety of activities designed to improve the health of the local community. The Health Activators have an office there and the kitchen and community room are available for planned healthy based activities. Toilets are open while an Activator is on site. Changing rooms and showers are available for visiting football teams.
The paths have been widened and resurfaced and new seats installed. Schools and local children’s associations use the park for games activities and picnics, as do family groups.
The bowling green area is delightful, surrounded by spring flower
beds and flowering shrubs, provided by the ‘Friends’ group and
planted by local primary school children. Visiting and new bowlers are most welcome. An
annual competition sponsored by the ‘Friends’ takes place in the
summer.
The new improvements to the park make it a very attractive
and enjoyable space for everyone to enjoy.
