You also suggested activities and recreational opportunities you would enjoy at 7th Brigade Park.

We’re now inviting you to have your say on the draft concept plan and what comes next for the park.

Your feedback highlighted key themes and areas to consider, including:

  • providing new recreational activities for different age groups to enjoy
  • retaining the much loved environment especially the trees.
