The years though have taken their toll on this once thriving park. It is essential now that this park is brought back to life, as it is surrounded by residential properties, and is in a central part of our town, within easy reach of Southwest Ward, Trent and North Ward residents. There are not only residents but two schools in the vicinity of the park, and the local Scouts groups. Gainsborough Town Council (GTC) is seeking to invite tenders for the design and build of a new play facility for children aged from 2 to 13+ years of age as well as adult gym equipment, with all equipment and surfacing conforming to EN1176 and EN1177.

Repair and renewal of ball court creating opportunity to engage in improvised team sports 4. Installation of adult outdoor gym equipment helping to improve overall fitness, flexibility and strength 5. Landscaping, including plants, flowers and shrubs - engaging with the local community, Gainsborough in Bloom, nearby allotments helping to combat isolation. We aim to provide play and fitness equipment that is accessible, inclusive and inviting to all. The equipment should wherever possible also be low maintenance whilst offering high play value.
