Major Upgrades Completed at Memorial Park

A £2.3 million restoration project at Upton Country Park has been completed, enhancing accessibility and celebrating the site’s heritage through various improvements. Funded by multiple organizations, including the National Lottery Heritage Fund, the Discovery Project aims to make the park more engaging for visitors while preserving its historical features. In Waterford, the Walsh Park development is set for completion by December 2026, with a secured €14 million investment for a new stadium, despite rising costs. Memorial Park in Great Harwood has undergone a £430,000 upgrade, featuring community artwork and enhanced facilities supported by local councils and organizations, culminating in a green flag award. Additionally, a £1 million revamp of Memorial Park in Sileby includes new play areas and improved safety measures, with the multi-use games area replacing an older facility. These projects reflect a growing trend of community-driven park enhancements across the UK.
