Parks and open spaces - general information
Allerdale
Borough Council is constantly endeavouring to enhance its Parks, open
spaces, outdoor recreation areas and play facilities through
partnership working on various projects. This is being undertaken
by means of an ongoing programme of children's
playground provision, landscaping, wildlife areas, and the traditional
flowerbeds.
The Parks Development Officer and Technical Officer
(Leisure) are on hand to answer any queries regarding
horticultural, arboricultural, or play issues.
Vulcan Park Consultation
The views of members of the public are being sought to help
shape proposals for improvements to Vulcan Park at Workington.
Consultation leaflets that were distributed to
residents, schools, local groups and users gave important
feedback to what people feel the most important aspects
of a park are.
The results of both the leaflet consultation and a following
public workshop are available on the Vulcan park website.

Landscaping in the form of tree and shrub planting is also ongoing.
It is necessary to manage the Councils mature tree stock through
the removal of dead and dangerous trees and planting of new
specimens. It is also necessary to enhance the environment through
the development of schemes involving the planting of trees and
ornamental shrubs.
Our flowerbeds, hanging baskets and associated floral features
are very high profile in the town centres, and this provision is
greatly appreciated by both local people and the many visitors to
the area.
