> Update: 1st October 2018: Works to the park gates
As part of the improvements to the park, the first of our park gates have been removed and taken off site for renovation.
> Update: 18th April 2018. New walls and railings
It is a positive signal of how dear Page Park is to the local community that there have been so many people saying that they have concerns about the appearance of the walls where the restoration work has started. We had discussed this with the Council project team at a steering group meeting earlier this week and they in turn had been talking to the contractor. Here is a further update on the situation from the project team:
South Gloucestershire Council appointed the contractors who are carrying out the works to repair and rebuild the walls at Page Park following a formal tender process. The contractors were appointed based on their price and experience.
There are some issues regarding the works which we are working with them to address. No section of the work is fully completed yet and where it is not satisfactory it will be rectified. The works will look untidy during the construction process but be assured that the final appearance will be a top priority for the project team and the contractor.

Lovely new black gates hanging from the pillars on the Clock Tower approach entrance.

More progress as our gates on South View are restored back to their former glory!
Toilet Block Refurbishment
> Update: June 2018
Thank you to local photographer, Terry Graham, for this montage of the wall renovations and repair in Hill House Road. Great progress has been made and the works are ramping up. Please be careful around the areas which are being worked on.

> Update: 5th November 2018. Railings
Today some of the Friends of Page Park went to look at a sample panel of the railings. They are in a raw state, still needing to be galvanised and painted black but you can get the gist of how they are going to look. Once the work starts (hopefully by December) it will then take about 3 months to add them around the park. Weather conditions could slow this down a bit so lets hope we have a mild few months ahead. Once the gates and railings are complete the park will then be closed at night and opened in the morning. Opening and closing times will be widely advertised.

As part of the improvements to the park, we're relieved that the old toilet block is undergoing some serious refurbishment. Apologies for any inconvenience whilst these important works are carried out.
