Brinton Park is undergoing a major restoration to bring its historic features back to life and improve facilities for everyone. The project will enhance the park’s heritage, boost biodiversity, and create new spaces for learning, leisure, and volunteering.
This has been made possible with a joint investment of £2.9 million – including £2.4 million from The National Lottery Heritage Fund and The National Lottery Community Fund. Although plans have changed slightly due to legal delays and rising costs since 2019, the updated project still meets its original aims and remains within budget.
What’s coming to Brinton Park?
We are creating a new welcoming community space (see artist's impression), complete with a new café and terrace overlooking a newly designed ornamental pond (see artist's impression), as the beloved Sons of Rest Pavilion is being rebuilt. The pond, located on the site of the former paddling pool, will use a borehole water supply and is designed to support more local wildlife.
Other eco-friendly improvements include woodland management, new bat boxes, and vibrant landscaping with flower beds and shrubs to boost biodiversity. Access to the park will also be enhanced, with better traffic flow at the main entrance and a refurbished toilet block for visitors’ convenience.
