A new cafe, community space, forest school, picnic area and several play areas will be built
Improvements which could make Mansfield's Berry Hill Park more of a 'destination' for visitors from out of the area have been given the green light. .
The £3.2m refurbishment will be paid for from the £12m grant that the Making Mansfield Place Board was awarded from the central government Towns Fund in 2021. The existing cafe, play areas and toilets near the car park will be removed and replaced with grassland.A former football pitch would be reinstated, and Mansfield Harriers Athletics Club would retain their cross country route across the park.
However, others weren't happy about the loss of green space, and said moving the current facilities would have an adverse impact on the park. One person also called for there to be a memorial to miners on the site to mark the area's industrial heritage.
