Artist's impressions on the Sloughbottom Park revamp including refurbished pavilion, a new sports hub and new all-weather pitch, and a new play park area, have been released by Norwich Council.
The images are designed to give resident’s an early idea of how the upgrade could look.
Councillor Carli Harper, cabinet member for major projects and finance, said: “These images will help show local residents what they can expect when this fabulous project is completed – namely fantastic facilities for local youngsters and the whole family to make the most of their park and get involved in sport all year round, whether it’s football, BMXing, or simply having a stroll around the beautiful park.”
The Sloughbottom project is funded by £7.6mil from the Government’s Levelling Up Fund and £850,000 from the Greater Norwich Growth Board.
Councillor Sue Holland, Chair of the Greater Norwich Growth Board, said: “This exciting project is a great example of the benefits of the Greater Norwich partnership. By working together, we can ensure that infrastructure projects, both large and small can be delivered, improving the quality of life of our residents.”
Andrew Dernie, Chair of Norwich Town Deal Board said: “It’s great to see this project moving forward. Investing in Norwich parks and open spaces is pivotal to increasing the well-being of city residents.”
The funding will be spent on new and improved facilities including:
- A new all-weather football pitch
- A new sports hub - including league-standard changing rooms
- Multi-purpose Pavilion including café, public toilets, and community room
- Accessible Play Area
- BMX track
- Modular storage facilities at the BMX track
