Alexandra Park Centenary Improvements
2006 marked the Centenary of Alexandra Park in Parkstone, and the start of a plan to improve the rather uninviting approaches to this well-loved and well-used community park.
All three entrances to Alexandra Park are poorly defined in the streetscene and offer no sense of arrival or destination.
At the East & West access points we plan to remove the existing blockwork walls and hedges and replace them with railings, imposing entrance gates, pillars and lighting.
At the Palmerston Road entrance the railings will be removed and the signs re-sited, replaced with railings, gates and lighting. The privet hedge will be removed from along the 25m long entrance path, replaced with more railings and a more interesting, wider and up-lit planting scheme. New barriers will be installed to deter cyclists.
Planning permission has been granted for the work and design consultants have been appointed.
Further progress will be updated here
