Osmaston Park- a new lease of life…

• Did you know that Osmaston Park is being improved?
• Do you know what you, your family or your friends will be able to do once the work has been completed?

Well read on and find out more…

This is an on-going project to regenerate the park and the new look will include:

• a larger play area
• a wheeled sports area
• new footpaths and cycle paths   with lighting
• ball courts
• crown green bowling
• football pitches.

Derby City Council, Osmaston People’s Park Regeneration Association – OPPRA and a whole range of community groups, organisations and individuals have worked together to improve the park, its facilities and how it is used. 

Once the construction work is finished there are plans to start a Green Gym and a programme of activities and events – this is a two year programme that promotes health and fitness whilst undertaking activities including tree planting and building a new community garden. 

A whole range of events and activities are planned – from basketball to wheeled sports demonstration events, from bicycle training to family fun days.

Derby City Council and OPPRA are also working together with other organisations to look at:

• how a new community building could be provided
• what other activities and events could take place
• improving safety and security.
