THIS IS THE YEAR OF THE PARK IN BRIGG

This is the Chinese Year of the Ox... and for Brigg it's also the Year of the Park.
On East Park, near the Monument roundabout, the Tin Tab covered seating shelter is to be refurbished by the Town Council and is expected to be painted in 'heritage colours' considered more suitable for the conservation area than the current shade seen here.
The Davy Memorial playing field between Kings Avenue and Bigby Road is soon to receive additional equipment from the same authority - an outdoor, heavy duty table tennis table at the request of local youngsters. Although the exact location has yet to be decided, Brigg Blog suggests siting it where some protection from the wind is available - perhaps at the foot of the steep grassy bank leading up to the A1084 or close to the boundary fencing with properties on Kings Avenue.

Sizeable Woodbine Park - bordered by South View Avenue, Hawthorn Avenue and Preston Drive - will see new allotment plots established this year on north-western edge, to replace the existing 'grow you own produce' land on Grammar School Road which is earmarked for future development.
Holland Park near the railway station will continue to prove popular for walks and with nature lovers, while the Donkey Park between Atherton Way and Almond Grove will attract youngsters to use its range of play equipment.
Some restrictions have applied at times to parks and play areas since the Covid emergency began, but there are now more positive signs for the months ahead.
