Parks Pledges

The Parks Pledges are designed to give an idea of what you can expect every time you visit one of our parks and open spaces: 

A clean park

• litter bins to be emptied before they are full up
• regular litter picking
• dog byelaws enforced

A safe park

• play area checked by 10am every day and any glass and litter removed
• technical inspections of play equipment every week
• regular Community Warden patrols and liaison with the Police when appropriate
• a Warden Service to respond to your concerns

An interesting park

• a variety of entertainment throughout the summer
• something to do for all the family
• a balance of passive and active entertainment

A pleasant place to visit

• for all the community
• a good standard of park maintenance
• a place to walk, to play, to meet friends, to sit and relax, to exercise the dog, to appreciate trees, shrubs, flowers, nature, open space and fresh air

We will seek your views on

• the condition of the park
• the facilities available
• improvements
• these pledges

 

We are also committed to making sure that any concerns or problems you may have experienced are dealt with in the appropriate manner, to ensure that our greenspace remains accessible for every user regardless of age, gender, ethnicity, ability or disability.
