To meet the growing community needs, we are enhancing Ambrose Tilney Park, Woodford.
Features of the park upgrade include:
- an extended playground
- a nature-inspired play space featuring some adventure-style elements
- a new all-ages pump track
- new picnic shelters for relaxation and leisure
- amenities block.
The upgrades build on what is already loved about the space. This will make it an even better place for local families to visit and play. The existing playground will be retained and expanded with additional equipment.
This project supports the Woodford area's current and future development and population growth. It demonstrates our commitment to providing more playgrounds and open spaces. The upgrades will reclassify the park to district-level standards meaning more facilities for local community use.
Community Consultation
In 2023, we invited community feedback on the draft improvement plan. Generally, the community supported the planned enhancements and retention of existing park features.
You told us you liked the blend of elements of the park making it a drawcard for people of all ages. Specifically, you liked the new pump track and nature-inspired playground.
You raised concerns about:
- management of antisocial behaviour
- protection of the natural environment
- maintaining grassed areas for kick around and picnics.
