This is in addition to the wider £1.1m green spaces improvement programme approved in November 2020. The extra £600,000 will be put towards the full refurbishment of Clarence Park in Bury and the completion of St Mary’s Park in Prestwich. At Clarence Park, improvements will include a new £150,000 replacement skate park, refurbishment of the tennis courts, play area, ball zone, paths, railings, signage, landscaping, benches and bins. At St Mary’s Park improvements will include play area and ball zone refurbishment, as well as completion of the tennis court fencing. There will also be provision for further development of the Burrs Strategy, as well as health and safety works and developing external funding bids towards the longer term sustainability of the well-used country park. This is in addition to £70,000 that has already been allocated to improve car parking at Burrs.
