Description
Parker's Piece is a very important green space in the centre of Cambridge. There are high numbers of pedestrians and cycles crossing the park mostly using the paths and many informal sports played on the grass most days of the week.
The area is used for a large number of events with vehicles accessing the area when setting up and removing the events.
The existing grass edges on both sides of the paths are being damaged due to the pedestrian, cycle overrun and occasional vehicle traffic. This is being made worse by water sitting at the edge of the path, saturating the grass verges forming ponding on the verge and path, narrowing the path and increasing the overrun.
The existing paths have poor shape both transversely and longitudinally.
The proposed solution shall improve the shape of the paths with path edging works and resurfacing. By lifting the paths the water will be able to run off the paths and the granular fill below the grass reinforcement shall act as water storage and also the foundations for the grass reinforcement.
