Harlow Town Park Masterplan
Background
Allen Scott, on behalf of Harlow
Council and Groundwork Hertfordshire produced a masterplan for the
regeneration of the Town Park.
The key objective was to
produce an overall plan that would realise the potential of the
Town Park, it's role within the context of planned development in
the vacinity of the park, its role within the Green Space Strategy
and the possible growth of the town to the north.
Key
Objectives:
- To review the existing park features and to consider their
value and relevance to today's park users
- To review the location of key park features such as play areas
and Pets' Corner
- To consider opportunities for new recreational facilities /
events, in particular those that have the potential to generate
revenue
- To maximise biodiversity through the create of new habitats and
the active conservation of existing ones
- To improve circulation and to create stronger links to the
Stations, Town Centre and the River Stort corridor
- To improve orientation through effective signage.
