According to the Area Forum Action Plan, residents have suggested several improvements to Avenue Park, focusing on safety, accessibility, and better facilities. Recent upgrades, such as the outdoor gym and refurbished playground, have already increased park usage.

Suggestions for further improvements include:

  • A perimeter path
  • More bins and benches
  • Toilets
  • Water fountains
  • Improved signage
  • Enhanced sports areas

While the delivery of these improvements depends on securing external funding, the council has committed to exploring options and adding these ideas to the Area Forum Action Plan. The council is currently exploring potential sources of external funding to make these improvements a reality.
