The idea
Phase 1 of Easebourne Park was opened 1st September 2018 and has proved to be an excellent facility and well used by the local community however access paths are incompatible with wheelchair, buggy and bike use. In order to make the Park accessible to all the community, the paths within the Park require upgrading.
What we'll deliver
- Paths will be able to be used by wheelchairs, buggies and bikes
- There will be access for everyone to the Park benches set alongside the paths.
- There will be access for everyone to any future wheelchair friendly play equipment
Why it's a great idea
It has been policy throughout the planning of the Park to ensure access is provided to as much of the community as possible. It was only because of the lack of initial funding that prevented the paths being constructed to allow access to everyone. The paths have been designed so that they can easily be ungraded once sufficient funds are raised. The funds raised will ensure the Park is fully inclusive to all the community in a very short time.
Steps to get it done
