Improvements to Salisbury's Churchill Gardens begin today
The Southampton Road pedestrian entrance will be closed for three months
Improvements to Salisbury's Churchill Gardens are being carried out from today.
The work, which is expected to take three months, will resurface the Southampton Road pedestrian entrance by the toilets with the entrance fenced off and no pedestrian access available.
Visitors are encouraged to use alternative routes around the park.
The project will see damaged paving slabs removed and new tarmac pathways and green spaces installed in their place. Additional trees will be planted, in line with the council's Tree & Ecosystem Strategy commitment to increase canopy cover across the city.
Access to the toilets and water fountain at this entrance will be temporarily unavailable during the construction period.
Park visitors are also advised that Kiwi Coffee will be temporarily relocated elsewhere within the park, and to check their Facebook page for updates.
The Salisbury parkrun will operate a slightly modified course during this period. For the latest updates on the parkrun, we should visit their Facebook page.
Salisbury City Council appreciates the public's understanding and cooperation as we work to improve the park's facilities.
