Holborn Park is a valued recreational space in Berkeley and Council is planning on undertaking upgrades to the area. These upgrades includes removing four of the picnic shelters along the cycle way. These shelters are in poor and unsafe condition.
The shelters will be replaced with three new shelters and will be built closer to the current amenities. One of the shelters will accommodate large groups as it is approximately twice the size as the ones being removed. The proposed shelters include one 10.2 x 5.5m and two 5.6 x 5.6m.
During the project no trees will be removed however, extra trees will be planted to provide additional shelter and shade.
To minimise the impact to the community it is intended that work will be undertaken in winter months of 2012.
Once the shelters have been installed it is proposed that a covered barbeque facility will be built; this will be the first barbecue on the northern side of the lake.
We have arranged a meeting on Saturday 25 February 2012, 10-12pm (weather permitting) for community members to discuss the design with project managers. We will set up a marquee adjacent to the playground at Holborn Park to discuss the proposed design and provide an opportunity for you to ask questions.
