Our Vision for Brookstray Park
Our vision for Brookstray Park is to create an inclusive and vibrant community space that caters to people of all ages and abilities. We aim to enhance the park with diverse recreational facilities, serene walking paths, and areas for small community activities, fostering a sense of togetherness and well-being for all visitors.

Improve existing play area
​The current play area is designed specifically for primary school children, typically aged 5-11 years. We will add equipment for other age groups, including pre-school children, teenagers, adults, senior citizens, and individuals with special needs. We will try to be loyal to our ‘something for everyone’ philosophy, but this may occur in phases.

Creating Court Areas for multi-purpose ball games
​Our park currently features only a single basketball hoop, which limits recreational
opportunities. We envision developing multi-purpose court areas to enhance the park's appeal and functionality. These versatile spaces will accommodate a variety of ball games, such as basketball, volleyball, tennis, and football providing diverse recreational options for visitors of all ages and interests. By creating these areas, we aim to foster community engagement, promote physical activity, and ensure that everyone has access to quality sports facilities.The proposed facilities will support individual and small-team games in safe, well-lit, and overlooked zones with secure entry and a booking system.

Adding benches and walking paths
To make our park more welcoming and accessible, we envision adding numerous benches and walking paths. These enhancements will provide comfortable resting spots for visitors, allowing them to relax and enjoy the natural surroundings. The walking paths will encourage leisurely strolls, promote physical activity, and improve connectivity throughout the park. By incorporating these features, we aim to create a more inviting and inclusive environment for all park-goers.

Outdoor Gym Equipment
Currently, our park lacks any outdoor gym equipment, limiting fitness opportunities for our community. We envision adding a range of outdoor gym facilities to promote physical health and wellness. These additions will provide a free and accessible way for people of all ages to engage in strength training and flexibility exercises. By incorporating outdoor gym equipment, we aim to encourage a more active lifestyle, foster a sense of community, and make fitness an enjoyable part of everyday life for all visitors.

Gardens & Landscaping
​We will set up a gardening sub-group with responsibility for planting and landscaping with a view to make the park a more pleasant and visually attractive place, while simultaneously giving local people with green fingers an opportunity to express their creativity, and get some fresh air and exercise!

Creating an outdoor community space for events and outings
We envision creating an intimate outdoor community space designed for activities such as community yoga, lawn bowling, private and community picnics and other casual gatherings, as well as small-scale public events such as festivals, theatre, musical concerts, and other performing arts. This dedicated area will provide a serene and versatile setting, perfect for residents to engage in relaxing and enjoyable pastimes. Equipped with suitable seating and open spaces, it will be ideal for fostering social connections, promoting wellness through a variety of low-impact activities, while offering all the potential of a local outdoor venue.
