WORK which has helped to rejuvenate a Tyne Valley park has been recognised on a national stage - in the Keep Britain Tidy Network Awards.
In recent years, Eastwoods Park, in Prudhoe, has seen many improvements; including a new play area, a new multi-use games area, new seating, basketball nets, a unique dog exercise area and the renovation of the old bowls pavilion to become a cafe and community hub.
The Network Awards mark excellence and innovation in improving local environmental quality and the Eastwoods Park project was one of only three shortlisted nationally in the ‘Community Engagement' category, which rewards action that has empowered communities to take responsibility and contribute to improving the quality of their local environment.
