Preston City Council is launching consultation with the local community and partners with a view to enhancing the area's leisure facilities, in particular those in several parks.   

The Proposal  

Moor Park Serpentine Lake Improvements

It is proposed that the Council will look to improve the current facilities and amenities within Moor Park including improved pathways, park furniture, signage and interpretation amongst other works.

Following the successful completion of the Heritage Lottery Funded works in 2018, this consultation is to establish the thoughts of people and organisations about the park and in particular the development of the Serpentine Lake area to establish what activities could take place on the park to increase use, satisfaction with the park and engagement within the local community supporting and promoting of healthy lifestyles and increasing physical activity.

The project would be paid for in part from the Levelling Up Fund grant which the City Council received following its successful bid in 2022. Other funding will come from Preston City Council. 

We hope to provide a fully accessible sports pavilion/changing facility in Waverley Park. The project would be funded by the Levelling Up Fund, Preston City Council, Fishwick and St Matthews Big Local and the Football Foundation (subject to a successful application).

Moor Park Facilities

It is proposed that the Council enhance the areas sports and leisure facilities through the complete refurbishment of the existing dilapidated sports pavilion and additional on-site improvements.

We hope to provide a fully accessible sports pavilion/changing facility, as well as additional park enhancements which can be seen on the Masterplan for the park.

The pavilion project would be funded by the Levelling Up Fund, Preston City Council and the Football Foundation (subject to a successful application).
