We have £20,000 to spend in Home Park.

We have some proposals which are currently being costed. They could look something like this:

We could get some interesting seating and normal benches for this area (to be costed) and it could be an area that get used for games which people can ‘book’ out of the library to bring the library into the park.

Or it could incorporate something like this ampitheatre style set up so plays or book readings could take place.

The area around it could be in a lighter floor colour or gravel as in the parks in Paris to create a’ zone’ in the park.

We could add more equipment. Perhaps something for kids to climb over and interact with other kids.
