The park improvements feature a new 16x10m tarmac games court, funded by Government UKSPF money and SKDC funds totalling approximately £36,000. The court is marked for football, netball, and basketball, and is equipped with hoops and goals.
A Government UKSPF grant also funded the creation of the Community Hub by the sports and education charity inspire+. This dedicated space will host youth activities, community programmes, and wellbeing support.
The Dysart Park tennis courts have also reopened after refurbishment, now featuring a new surface colour coating and line markings.
“"This investment programme was part of a district-wide plan to help us meet local needs and encourage communities to come together in a safe, accessible environment. All of Grantham’s SKDC-managed parks successfully retained the acclaimed Green Flag award earlier this year and all those residents and visitors who visit can enjoy our open spaces safe in the knowledge they can play, take part in sport and socialise in quality venues."
These recent enhancements build upon a previous £40,000 investment by SKDC and the Rotary Club in updated play and fitness equipment at the park. This earlier installation included a three-deck climber with a scramble net, rope climb, and slide bars, alongside a workout fitness station and a ladder wall.
