Improvements continue at Gedling Country Park
with £120k viewing platforms planned for March.
The platforms are part of wider investments at the
park which also includes a car park extension and
covered outdoor seating area.
Gedling Country Park has expansive views spanning
into Nottinghamshire, Lincolnshire and Leicestershire,
which will now be enhanced thanks to two viewing
platforms, one of which will be four metres high.
The platforms, which will be installed to the north and
south of the solar panel farm at the park, will both
feature wheelchair and pushchair accessible ramps
and interpretation panels with information about
the views beyond the platforms such as Lincoln
Cathedral and Belvoir Castle.
The £120k funding for the platforms was awarded
by the Rural Payments Agency, who provide grants
for projects which help promote growth, jobs and
tourism in rural areas.
Since opening in March 2015, the park has become
increasingly popular, with around 100,000 visitors
per year, with many attracted by the family friendly
events, wildlife conservation projects and heritage of
the site.
To help with the increasing number of visitors to the
park, the car park will be extended by 100 places and
a new £73k covered seating area outside the parks
café, Café 1899, will also be installed.
