Work to help improve and develop health and wellbeing along Llangollen’s Riverside Park has been completed.
Funded by Shared Prosperity Transitional Year Funding, the work was coordinated by Denbighshire County Council’s Streetscene department.
This latest development of the area follows previous work by other council teams at the park over the last few years which has seen initiatives such as nine-hole bespoke mini golf and play equipment added to the site.
Streetscene has carried out this latest phase of work to further enhance the park for local residents and visitors to enjoy.
The development has seen the replacement of an existing ramp from Aldi Car Park to the Skatepark/MUGA area to improve the accessibility of this area for wheelchair users and others with greater accessibility needs, and the installation of two further ramped paths to help improve accessibility around the park.
Work has also seen fencing added next to the old children’s play area to better secure this section, and an additional access gate was installed on the river side of the park.
The project has added an outdoor gym to the site which has seven items of equipment to enable users to exercise with a view over the river. In addition to this, two accessible picnic benches have been installed in this area with concrete bases to enable easy access by wheelchair.
Paul Jackson, Head of Highways & Environmental Services, said:
“We are really pleased to complete this work at Llangollen’s Riverside Park thanks to the funding Streetscene has been able to access.
“This latest development will further enhance other areas that have already been improved at Riverside Park to increase the profile of this important part of the town for both the enjoyment of residents and those visiting Llangollen.”
